# Enable Regulatory Agencies as Standard Organizations

Learn how to update your Vault's configuration to enable Regulatory Agencies as Standard Organizations.

## About the Feature

Worldwide regulatory agencies were added as standard <a href="/en/gr/01213/">Organization</a> records in 20R3.

## Configuration for Legacy Vaults

Vaults created in 20R3 or later include the following user action by default, while Admins must configure this action on Vaults created in 20R2 or earlier.
