# Configuring Institution Settings

### Before You Start

Make sure you have reviewed each setting carefully before enabling Institution access, as these settings apply across all applications in your organisation. If you are unsure which configuration is right for your workflow, contact Tahua Support for guidance.

***

### Available Settings

#### Institutions can edit Applications

Controls whether Institutions are able to make edits to applications that have been assigned to them.

* **Enabled** — Institutions can edit assigned applications
* **Disabled** — Institutions have no edit access to applications

***

#### Applicants submit Applications to Institutions

Controls whether Applicants must first submit their application to the Institution before the Institution can submit it to you.

* **Enabled** — Applicants must submit to the Institution first, who then submits to you
* **Disabled** — The Institution submits directly without requiring Applicant submission first

***

#### Letter of Offer accepted by Institution

Controls whether a Letter of Offer must be accepted by the institution as well as the applicant.

* **Enabled** — Both the applicant and the institution must accept the Letter of Offer
* **Disabled** — Only the applicant needs to accept
