Changing account settings Follow

Overview

Account settings allows admins to change settings for all users in your account. You can also lock settings on or off to prevent users from changing them.

The account settings mirror the settings available for groups and for individual users. If not locked for the account or group, they can be adjusted by the individual user. This allows you to customize tiered settings.

Note: This article covers settings that are only available at the account level. In addition to these settings, account owners and admin can access user-level settings.
