# Activating and deactivating post-launch actions
<a name="source-post-launch-settings-actions"></a>

This setting controls whether post-launch actions are active or inactive. You must leave the **Install Systems Manager agent and allow executing actions on launched servers** option toggled in order for post-launch actions to work. Untoggling the option disallows AWS MGN to install the SSM Agent on your servers and post-launch actions are no longer executed on them. 

The feature is activated and deactivated at the account level from the **Settings > Post-launch template** screen. [Learn more about activating post-launch settings](post-launch-settings.md#post-launch-settings-activation).

After it was activated once, the feature can also be deactivated and reactivated for a single server. Simply selecting a server, go to the **Post-launch settings** tab and click **Edit**.

When the feature is inactive:
+ All actions are hidden.
+ You are not able to activate actions at the account level or the feature level.

When the feature is active:
+ The actions are visible.
+ You can activate them.
