# Activating post-launch actions default settings


Activate post-launch actions in the default settings, to make it active by default for newly added source servers and to enable updating of the default list of actions. Activating and deactivating is only possible if the required IAM roles have been installed.

To activate, make sure the required IAM role is installed by following [this guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/drs/latest/userguide/post-launch-action-settings-roles.html). After that, go to **Settings → Default post-launch actions** and check **Post-launch actions settings** to see if **Post-launch actions** is set to **Active**. In case it is not, select **Edit** and make sure **Post-launch actions activated** is checked. Then select **Save** to store these settings.
