The default quarantine policy named AdminOnlyAccessPolicy prevents any user interaction with their quarantined messages. By default, this quarantine policy is used for messages that were quarantined as malware or high confidence phishing. In custom policies or the default policy for [protection features that support quarantining messages](quarantine-policies.md#step-2-assign-a-quarantine-policy-to-supported-features), admins can specify the AdminOnlyAccessPolicy as the quarantine policy to use.

Also, the protection policies in [preset security policies](preset-security-policies.md) are always applied _before_ custom protection policies. A user who's defined in the Standard or Strict preset security policy will never get a customized protection policy where the quarantine policy is customized to turn on quarantine notifications.
