As a team owner or admin, you can configure within team management whether your team members are allowed to send self-deleting messages. You can also make this feature mandatory for your whole team by specifying an enforced timeout after which any sent message will self-delete.
By default your team is allowed to send self-deleting messages, for example, they can choose if they want to send them or not, and the forced timeout is off.
Observe that your team needs to be on Wire for Enterprise in order for these options to be customizable. On Wire Basic self-deleting messages are set to the default, i.e. enabled.
