# Admin Settings

### Like all Proper features, Polls offer granular admin settings and approvals.

{% hint style="info" %}
See [**this page**](../admin-settings) for **global** admin settings.
{% endhint %}

#### From the admin setting modal for any feature, use the overflow menu at the top to navigate to another feature.

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

### Approvals

#### App or workspace admin approval can optionally be required for users to:

* Start a new discussion
* Post a reply to an ongoing discussion

{% hint style="info" %}
#### If approval is required for a user action, the user is able to select which admin(s) will receive an approval request message.

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

Workspace admins and app admins do not need to seek approval for these actions.
{% endhint %}

### User permissions

#### A list of users can be defined that can use discussions without needing to seek approval.

{% hint style="info" %}
Workspace admins and app admins already have this capability.
{% endhint %}

### Channel permissions

#### A list of up to 25 public channels can be defined where approval is not required to start a discussion.

{% hint style="info" %}
If this setting is enabled, discussions in **other** channels **will require approval** regardless of the approval settings above.
{% endhint %}
