Managing module's general settings is performed at the page Settings > System Settings > Module Settings > Social network:
The tab Social Network Settings contains global module settings:
Follow all Feed posts by default - when this option is marked for a social network, each new event (comment, message and etc.) will "raise" this event to the Feed's top. User decides whether to Unfollow a post inside Feed. When this option is disabled, to follow the event, click Follow under the required Feed's post.
Allow "To everyone" Feed posts - when this option is marked, you can indicate users or user groups that may send messages to all site/account users. Please be aware that with this option enabled, there is always a risk that user can send a message to users
accidentally.For example, an employee in accounting creates a message with company financial data and forgets to check and edit a recipient. All users will see this message due to the default All setting.
Use "All employees" as default recipient - this option enables to forward to All users by default when creating a message.
Option appears when the option Allow "All employees" as option in Activity Stream/Feed is enabled.
Activity Stream/Feed shows only the posts made by me or my groups, or sent directly to me - this option enables the mode showing only the entries and events related to the user workgroups, as well as messages received and sent by Feed.
