Organization administrators can configure the default values of
|
|
|
|
|
personal preference settings for new users joining the
|
2021-10-18 16:30:46 +02:00
|
|
|
organization. This can help seamlessly customize the Zulip experience
|
2021-09-20 20:51:38 +02:00
|
|
|
to match how the organization in question is using Zulip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Existing users' preferences cannot be modified by administrators, and
|
|
|
|
|
users will be able to customize their own settings once they
|
|
|
|
|
join. Administrators can customize defaults for all personal
|
|
|
|
|
preference settings, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
preferences from their browser, including all users [created via the Zulip
|
|
|
|
|
API](/api/create-user).
