+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_instagram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    encryption:
+      allow: true
+      default: true
+```
+
+If you would like to be able to administrate the bridge from your account it can be configured like this:
+```yaml
+matrix_mautrix_instagram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
+  bridge:
+    permissions:
+      '@YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_DOMAIN': admin
+```
+
