# Admin Settings

### Workspace admins have access to admin settings by default, but standard users can be granted permission to act as app admins.

#### App and workspace admins can manage settings and features in Proper that normal users cannot.

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/proper/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/proper/getting-started/app-settings) modal.
{% endhint %}

## Global admin settings <a href="#global" id="global"></a>

#### 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.

{% hint style="warning" %}

### The next two settings impact access to all features and billable users. <a href="#billable-users" id="billable-users"></a>

{% endhint %}

### Channel restrictions

#### Optionally select a limited list of public and/or private channels that Proper can join. &#x20;

This setting is **enabled** if at least one channel is present in the list.

{% hint style="info" %}
If this setting is **enabled**, Proper will not monitor or attempt to join any channels not in the list, **regardless** of other settings.

Only the selected channel(s) will be **available** in menus throughout the app and in [**feature-specific**](#features) admin settings.

#### Only users who are members of the selcted channel(s) will be included in your bill.

{% endhint %}

### User exclusions <a href="#remove-users" id="remove-users"></a>

#### In the next input in the Admin Settings modal, optionally select any users who should not have access to Proper.

{% hint style="info" %}
These users will be **excluded** from your bill.&#x20;

> Guest and bot users are **automatically** excluded.
> {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If no global channel restrictions and/or user exclusions are in place, all eligible users will be included in your bill.
{% endhint %}

## Feature-specific admin settings <a href="#features" id="features"></a>

#### Feature-specific admin settings can be reached using the buttons below the global admin settings.

### Enable or disable features <a href="#feature-enable" id="feature-enable"></a>

#### Each major Proper feature can be independently enabled or disabled using the checkbox in the second panel of its admin settings modal.

{% hint style="info" %}
All features are enabled by default.

#### Only enabled features will be included in your bill.

{% endhint %}
