Configure default settings for new users
{!admin-only.md!}
Organization administrators can configure the default values of personal preference settings for new users joining the organization. This can help seamlessly customize the Zulip experience 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:
-
Privacy settings:
- Displaying availability to other users
- Allowing others to see when the user has read messages
- Allowing others to see when the user is typing a message
-
Preferences:
-
Notification settings:
- What types of messages trigger notifications
- Which topics users will automatically follow. This minimizes the need to mention other users to get their attention.
