 **Videos **- Setting this to Allow will let the new user request the Closing Record Videos for completed transactions
 **Contract Original** - Setting this to Allow will let the new user claim the **SINGLE** watermarked Authoritative Original document for completed transactions. For MOST users, this should be set to **DENY
 Contract Copy** - Setting this to Allow will let the new user request watermarked Copies of the transaction documents completed in SecureClose.

**Bank Transfer** - If your account is connected to a SecureClose Bank Vault, setting this option to Allow will let the new user transfer contracts to your connected bank vault.
