Organization Settings & Inheritance

How to Tell You're in an Organization

Building icon appears next to the organization name in the team selector. Settings pages show: "You are currently configuring settings for the entire [Org Name] organization, which may affect up to [X] descendant teams."

The Three Inheritance Icons

• Globe - Inheriting INKY's default global policy

  

• Skyscraper - Overriding global policy, applies to all child teams

  

• People - Local team override, applies only to this team

  

Override Mechanics

From Organization Level: Changes apply to all child teams. INKY shows a warning popup before saving organization-wide settings.

From Team Level: Any team can override inherited settings. Team-level changes only affect that specific team and don't flow up or sideways.

Priority: Team settings > Organization settings > Global settings

Settings That Merge Instead of Override

A few settings combine down the hierarchy rather than replacing what the organization set. For these, the editable field on a team holds only that team's own entries, and the entries inherited from the organization appear beneath it in a read-only list.

• Known External Senders

• Trusted Third-Party Senders

• Blocked country codes

• Blocked TLDs

Both sets apply when INKY analyzes mail. This means a team can add its own entries without re-entering the organization's, and can't accidentally drop an organization-wide entry by editing its own list. Inherited entries can only be changed at the organization level.

Organization Profiles

Each organization starts with a base template inherited from its parent organization (or INKY Global if it's a root org). Configure once at the org level; teams inherit automatically unless overridden.
