# Admin Settings

### Workspace admins have access to admin settings by default, but standard users can be granted permission to act as app admins. <a href="#app-admins" id="app-admins"></a>

#### Workspace and app admins can manage admin settings and features in Nightowl that standard users cannot. &#x20;

Workspace admins and existing app admins can add new app admins from the **Admin Settings** modal.

{% hint style="info" %}
Granting a user app admin permissions does **not** make the user a workspace admin.
{% endhint %}

#### To access the Admin Settings modal, click the :closed\_lock\_with\_key:`Admin Settings` button in the [App Settings](https://happybara.gitbook.io/nightowl/getting-started/app-settings) modal.

{% hint style="info" %}
Users that are not app or workspace admins can request app admin permissions by clicking the :raised\_hand:`Request admin permissions` button in the [**App Settings**](https://happybara.gitbook.io/nightowl/getting-started/app-settings) modal.
{% endhint %}

### To grant a user app admin access, add their name to the list at the top of the Admin Settings modal.

> Adding or removing app admins will notify affected users about the permission change.

### Workspace and app admins can require approval for access to the standard features of Nightowl. <a href="#app-access" id="app-access"></a>

#### To enable access control, check the following box in the Admin Settings modal.

* Once this setting is enabled, a field will be exposed where users can be selected to enable their access to the **standard features** of **Nightowl**.

  > Any **existing** nightowl users will be added to the field by default upon enabling the setting.
* **Adding** users to the list will invite them to use **Nightowl**.

  > Users will only be added to the billing count upon successfully installing the app after being invited.
* **Removing** users from this list will revoke their access to **Nightowl.**

  > Users will be notified of this change and will be removed from the billing count.

#### When access control is enabled, new installs by users not granted access in the list will not impact the billing count.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Unapproved users will be **unable** to use **Nightowl** without seeking approval from an app or workspace admin.

* These users will be prompted to seek approval upon install and afterward if attempting to use the app prior to approval.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

#### If approval is required for a user action, the user is able to select which admins should receive an approval request message.

* Only one admin needs to approve or deny each request.
* When an admin approves or denies a request, the other admins who received the request and the requesting user will be notified.
  {% endhint %}

### Workspace and app admins can disable one or more Nightowl features. <a href="#feature-toggle" id="feature-toggle"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
Unchecking a box disables that feature and all users will lose access to it in the **Nightowl** App Home.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a user has **existing** [**scheduled**](https://happybara.gitbook.io/nightowl/reference/scheduled-messages) or [**recurring messages**](https://happybara.gitbook.io/nightowl/reference/recurring-messages) when the relevant feature is disabled, those messages will remain in flight.

The user will need temporary access to the relevant feature to delete the messages.
