# Admin Settings

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

{% hint style="info" %}
See [**this page**](/proper/reference/admin-settings.md) 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.

![](/files/-MWgTLRaiBppwzv_8Ci8)

#### 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 poll
* Modify a poll

  > Only workspace admins and app admins, **not the poll's owner(s)** will be able to *modify* a poll without approval.
* End a poll

  > Only workspace admins and app admins, **not the poll's owner(s)** will be able to *end* a poll without approval.

{% 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 %}

### Channel restrictions

#### A list of public channels can be defined where approval is always required.

{% hint style="info" %}
Polls in these **public** channels may still require approval depending on your settings. Polls can be conducted in any **private** channel but are still subject to your approval settings.
{% endhint %}

### User permissions

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

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

### Anonymity

#### Anonymous and/or identified polls can be enabled.  

Users will be able to choose the type when creating a poll if more than one option is selected.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting applies to the identities of the poll's creator, any other owners, and all respondents.
{% endhint %}
