Is Single Sign-On (SSO) supported?
Data Retention
Amazon WorkDocs | Business Productivity
Yes. Single Sign-On (SSO) can be enabled so that when users are signed in to their Amazon WorkSpaces they will be automatically signed in to WorkDocs Drive, and will not be required to provide credentials when they access the web client from their Amazon WorkSpaces. You can enable SSO by visiting the AWS Directory Service area of the AWS console, clicking the directory ID link for your directory and selecting the Apps & Services tab. For more information and detailed setup see our documentation.
What happens when files and folders are deleted from Amazon WorkDocs?
Data Retention
Amazon WorkDocs | Business Productivity
When a user deletes their files or folders, they are stored in the user’s recycle bin, from where they can be recovered by the user if needed. After a period of 30 days, the files and folders will be retained for an additional 60 days in the recovery bin before being permanently deleted. 60 days is the default retention period, but site administrators can adjust this period to any value from 0 to 365 days. Files will be retained for the specified period, and permanently deleted when the retention period limit is reached.
As an administrator, how can I configure the retention policy for my site?
