# Account settings for your organization
> Configure your Beebole organization's defaults from Account Settings: localization, billing, cost, public holidays, work schedule, SSO, and more.
Beebole's **Account Settings** is where administrators set the organization-wide defaults that cascade to everyone in the account. From this page you manage your organization's identity, regional formats, billing and cost rates, work schedule, approval workflow, and sign-in options.
Account Settings is admin-only. The defaults you set here apply across the whole organization, but most can be overridden lower down — on a tag, a person, or a project.
## Open Account Settings
You reach Account Settings from the user menu, not from the sidebar's top-level features.
Click the button with your initials at the bottom of the left sidebar.
In the menu that opens, click **Account Settings**.
Account Settings opens with the **Settings** menu on its left. The other entries of that menu, **Subscription**, **Person Roles**, **Work Schedules**, **Integrations**, **Master data review**, **Time Off**, **Expense Types**, **Custom Fields**, **Release Notes**, and **Delete Account**, open their own dedicated screens. On a phone, tap your initials, then **Account Settings**, to see the same entries, except **Master data review**.
## Organization identity
The header at the top of Account Settings holds your organization's name, logo, and accent color. Each edit saves automatically.
The logo and the accent color share one control: the square at the left of the header, which shows your logo or your organization's initials. Click it to open the color palette, with the logo drop area below it.
### Name
Click the organization name in the header and type a new one. The change is saved automatically.
### Logo
Click the square in the header. Below the palette, you can **Paste, drop, or click to add the logo of your organization**. Beebole crops the logo to fit the header, and a crop tool lets you adjust the framing before it saves. The logo appears in the sidebar and in emails Beebole sends. To remove it, open the logo again and clear it.
### Accent color
Click the square in the header and pick a color from the palette. The accent color updates immediately for everyone in the organization — it colors buttons, highlights, and other branded elements. To clear it, open the picker again and click the swatch that is currently selected.
Each person can also choose a personal interface color from the user menu (**Pick your color**), which overrides the organization accent color for them alone.
## Settings panels
Below the header, Account Settings is organized into panels. Each panel sets a default for the organization, and every edit saves automatically. The panels available are:
| Panel | What it controls |
| - | - |
| **Localization** | Time zone, currency, number formats, clock and date formats, and first day of the week |
| **Show or hide by default** | Which optional elements are visible across the account by default |
| **Timesheet and Planning Settings** | How your team logs time — periodicity, duration format, entry rules, categories, and reminders |
| **Billing** | The default billing rate for the organization |
| **Cost** | The default cost rate for the organization |
| **Work schedule** | The expected working hours assigned at the organization level |
| **Public holidays** | The default public holiday calendar |
| **Absence allowances** | The default [time-off allowances](/help/documentation/timeoff) for each absence type |
| **Approval workflow** | The default sequence of approval stages for submitted timesheets |
| **Single Sign-On** | Google, Microsoft, and custom SSO sign-in for your members |
| **Notifications** | The default notification settings for the account |
| **Email templates** | The wording of emails Beebole sends on the organization's behalf |
**Billing**, **Cost**, **Approval workflow**, and **Absence allowances** depend on your [subscription](/help/documentation/subscription). When your plan does not include one, its panel shows a short preview with an **Upgrade your plan** link instead of its settings. On the **Free** plan, the **Single Sign-On** panel offers Google and Microsoft sign-in only.
### Localization
The **Localization** panel sets the regional defaults for the whole organization:
* **Time zone** — The default time zone for date and time calculations.
* **First day of the week** — Whether the week starts on Monday, Sunday, or another day. This affects timesheets, calendars, and reports.
* **Currency** — The currency used for billing rates, costs, budgets, and expenses.
* **Decimal format** — The decimal separator used in numbers.
* **Thousands separator** — The separator used to group large numbers.
* **Clock format**: a 12-hour clock (3:45 PM) or a 24-hour clock (15:45).
* **Date format** — How dates display throughout Beebole.
The interface language is not an organization setting: each person picks their own from the menu behind their initials at the bottom of the sidebar. Beebole is available in English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese. People can also override some regional preferences from their profile.
### Show or hide by default
The **Show or hide by default** panel decides which optional elements are switched on across the account. You can show or hide **Show all time off**, **Show all expenses**, **Show all schedules**, **Show all tasks**, **Show all custom fields**, **Show all secondary projects**, and **Show all projects**. If you disable one globally, you can still enable it for specific tags, people, or projects under their own **Show or hide** settings.
### Timesheet and Planning Settings
The **Timesheet and Planning Settings** panel controls the timesheet experience — default periodicity, duration format, time entry rules, the categories your team tracks against, and reminders. Because it is a deep configuration area, it has its own reference page.
For the full list of timesheet options, see [Timesheet and Planning Settings](/help/documentation/timesheetSettings).
## Release notes Admin only
Click **Release Notes** in the **Settings** menu to read what changed in Beebole with each production release. Each release is listed under its date, newest first. The screen shows ten releases at a time: click **Load older** at the bottom to see earlier ones.
For a monthly summary of the main changes, see [Product updates](/help/news/releases).
## Delete your account Admin only
You can schedule your Beebole organization for deletion from the **Delete Account** entry of the **Settings** menu. Beebole does not delete everything instantly: it gives you a grace period so you can change your mind. This is also how you honor a right-to-erasure request that covers the whole organization. For individual requests, see [GDPR and personal data](/help/documentation/data-exports#gdpr-and-personal-data).
Only administrators can reach **Delete Account**: the **Account Settings** entry in the initials menu, and the **Settings** menu behind it, are not shown to other roles. A person who cannot find **Delete Account** either needs an administrator to do it, or is still on the Legacy platform, where the account is deleted from the *Account* module (see the [legacy FAQ](/help/legacy/faq)).
Scheduling deletion removes your entire organization — people, projects, time entries, reports, and configuration — after the grace period passes. Export any data you need first.
Click your initials at the bottom of the sidebar, choose **Account Settings**, then click **Delete Account** at the bottom of the **Settings** menu on the left. On a phone, tap your initials, then **Account Settings**, then **Delete Account**.
Click **Yes, delete my account**. Beebole schedules the account for deletion and notifies all administrators by email.
During the 7-day grace period, return to **Delete Account** and click **Cancel deletion** to keep your account. After the grace period, the data is permanently deleted.
While a deletion is pending, everyone in the account sees a red banner at the top of Beebole: *Account deletion scheduled by* followed by the administrator's name, then *Deletes in* and the time left (for example, 6d 23h). Administrators also get a **Cancel deletion** button in the banner, so they can stop the deletion from any screen. The **Delete Account** screen shows the same information, as *Deletion scheduled by* and *Account will be deleted in*, above its own **Cancel deletion** button.
## Contact support
To reach the Beebole team from inside Beebole, click the round chat button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. It opens a conversation with the Beebole support team. Everyone signed in to Beebole has it, whatever their role.
The chat button is hidden on phones. From a phone, write to [support@beebole.com](mailto:support@beebole.com) instead. On the [Subscription](/help/documentation/subscription#pay-by-wire-transfer) page, the **We're happy to set up your account manually** link under *Wire transfer instead?* opens the same chat, with a message about paying by wire transfer already filled in.

## Frequently asked questions
Only administrators can open and edit Account Settings. The defaults set there apply to the whole organization, so changes are restricted to people with the Admin role. Beebole saves each edit automatically as you make it, so there is no Save button to click.
Yes, during the grace period. After you schedule deletion, Beebole waits 7 days before removing your data. Open **Delete Account** and click **Cancel deletion** within that window to keep your account.
Yes. You can change the currency in the **Localization** panel at any time. Beebole does not convert existing values, so review your financial data after switching.
Click the round chat button in the bottom-right corner of Beebole to start a conversation with the Beebole team. The button is not shown on phones, so from a phone, email [support@beebole.com](mailto:support@beebole.com).
Two possible reasons. Either you are not an administrator: in Beebole, **Delete Account** sits in the **Settings** menu of **Account Settings**, which only the Admin role can open, so ask an administrator to schedule the deletion. Or you are signed in to the Legacy platform at beebole-apps.com, which has no initials button at all; there, deletion is in the *Account* module of the Settings screen. See [Which Beebole am I using?](/help/guides/migration#which-beebole-am-i-using).
