Change organization settings

Where the settings are, the profile and logo, the address of your public pages, working defaults and how new things start.

In short

An organization's Settings hold its profile and logo, the address of its public pages, its working defaults and who new things start open to. The other sections set joining, modules, AI, policies, single sign-on, security and data, file storage, data location and ownership. People with Change organization settings see them.

Before you start

• Who: "Change organization settings" (an Organization Admin holds it). The organization must be your workspace.
• Plan: Organizations is part of every plan, Free included. Your plan sets how many members and teams an organization may hold (Plan & usage shows them). Single sign-on, file storage and data location depend on the plan (see their guides).
• First: switch to the organization.

Steps

1. Make the organization your workspace, open it and choose "Settings". The page lists its sections at the side, in four groups: Profile, Products & AI, Security & data and Ownership (chips on a narrow screen). Settings › "Organization settings" lists the same sections for you.
2. On "General", change the name, description, website and hiring defaults.
3. Each change saves itself a moment later; the line above the fields says Saved. An empty name is not saved until you fill it in.

1. Under "Address", choose "Change address" and type readable words, 3 to 80 characters.
2. Read whether it is free and "What moves".
3. Choose "Change address".

Result: the changes apply at once; a new address takes over your careers page and role pages.

General: logo and profile

"Upload logo" takes a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF up to 1 MB, which counts toward your storage. Replace it any time, or "Remove logo" to fall back to the initial. "Use an image address instead of an upload" sets a logo address, used only when nothing is uploaded.

General: the address of your public pages

• The address is the name your public pages are reached by - your careers page and the roles it lists. Links inside the product use ids and never move.
• It is kept as letters, digits and hyphens, and the dialog shows how.
• The old address keeps leading to your pages for 90 days, and is never given to another organization.
• An address another organization has or had is never given again.
• Two changes are allowed in 30 days; the dialog says how many are left and when the next one is possible.

General: working defaults

Working defaults are what a person and a new thing start with: the time zone, the day the week starts on, and the working days. A new calendar starts in that zone, reports count weeks from that day, and interviews are offered on those days. A person's own choice in their settings always wins. Changing them rewrites nothing that exists.

General: how new things start

"How new things start" says who a new board, project or notebook is open to where no team above it chose. As the product starts them: open to its team when filed under one. When filed under none, they are open to everyone, or, for a SQL project, a cache connection, a notebook or a design, only to its maker. A team's own default and the maker's choice come first. See /help/organizations/sharing.

Good to know

• Settings is one page in four groups, and each section has its own address. Profile holds General and Joining. Products & AI holds Modules, AI and Industry comparison. Security & data holds Policies, Single sign-on, Security and data, and Connections, where the organization's own file storage and data location sit beside its code hosts and trackers. Ownership holds Ownership and the Danger zone. Single sign-on is on plans that include it; the own file storage, the data location and the Industry comparison are not on a private installation.
• On General, "Address and working defaults" is folded: open it to change the address, time zone and working days.
• Roles and Access tokens are in the Access tab, and the audit log is Activity's All changes. Their old addresses still open them.
• For an organization that is not your workspace, Settings asks you to switch first.

If something goes wrong

• Settings is missing: you lack Change organization settings, or the organization is not your workspace.
• The address is taken: another organization has or had it. Choose other words.
• You cannot change the address again: two changes are allowed in 30 days. The dialog says when the next one is possible.
• The logo is refused: use a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF of 1 MB or less.
