# 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/-MWghhUwWk9ORgQ9OFiQ)

#### 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:

* Call a vote for the next Proper emoji
* Accept a direct modification to the Proper emoji

{% 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

#### Optionally select a limited list of public and/or private channels that Proper can join for the purposes of tracking Props.

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.
{% endhint %}

### **New channels**

#### **Set the way** Proper behaves when new public channels are created:

* `Auto-join` 

  > Proper will **join** new public channels **automatically** as they are created.
* `Check before joining` 

  > Proper will **request permission** to join new public channels as they are created.
* `Do not join` 

  > Proper will **ignore** new public channels as they are created.  This is the **default** setting.

### Recognition podium

#### Set the number of team members who should be recognized each period for the Props they have received.

{% hint style="info" %}
Up to **10** winners can be recognized each period.

If [**rewards**](/proper/concepts/bundles.md) are enabled, these users will share in the winnings equally.
{% endhint %}

### **Show rewards information**

#### Show or hide information about available digital rewards below the leaderboards for all users.

{% hint style="info" %}
Unchecking this box will also hide the corresponding [**app setting**](/proper/getting-started/app-settings.md) for all users.
{% endhint %}
