# decrypt

This activated the decryption of the userID.

When the Decrypt toggle is enabled, clients send us encrypted user IDs.

Each time a user enters the chat, we decrypt the received value.

If decryption succeeds and the result matches the expected user ID format (for example, a numeric ID), access is allowed. If decryption fails or the result does not match the expected format, access is denied.

Please read about the process of decryption here: [https://docs.watchers.io/docs/authorization](https://docs.watchers.io/docs/authorization)
