# 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.

<Info>
  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.
</Info>

## Open Account Settings

You reach Account Settings from the user menu, not from the sidebar's top-level features.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the user menu">
    Click the button with your initials at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Account Settings">
    In the menu that opens, click **Account Settings**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The other items in this menu — **Subscription**, **Person Roles**, **Work Schedules**, **Integrations**, **Export your data**, **GDPR**, **Time Off**, **Expense Type**, **Custom Field**, **Delete Account**, and **Release Notes** — open their own dedicated screens.

## Organization identity

The header at the top of Account Settings holds your organization's name, logo, and accent color. Each edit saves automatically.

### Name

Click the organization name in the header and type a new one. The change is saved automatically.

### Logo

Click the logo area in the header. 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 color swatch 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.

<Info>
  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.
</Info>

## 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, time 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                                                            |
| **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                               |

<Info>
  Billing rates, costs, custom fields, approval workflow, and Single Sign-On depend on your subscription and may not appear on every account.
</Info>

### Localization

The **Localization** panel sets the regional defaults for the whole organization:

* **Language** — The interface language. Beebole is available in English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese.
* **Time zone** — The default time zone for date and time calculations.
* **Currency** — The currency used for billing rates, costs, budgets, and expenses.
* **First day of the week** — Whether the week starts on Monday, Sunday, or another day. This affects timesheets, calendars, and reports.
* **Date format** — How dates display throughout Beebole.
* **Time format** — A 12-hour or 24-hour clock.
* **Decimal format** — The decimal separator used in numbers.
* **Thousands separator** — The separator used to group large numbers.

A person can override their own language and 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 projects**, **Show all secondary projects**, **Show all tasks**, **Show all time off**, **Show all expenses**, and **Show all custom fields**. 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.

<Info>
  For the full list of timesheet options, see [Timesheet and Planning Settings](/help/documentation/timesheetSettings).
</Info>

## Delete your account <Badge>Admin only</Badge>

You can schedule your Beebole organization for deletion from the **Delete Account** menu item. Beebole does not delete everything instantly — it gives you a grace period so you can change your mind.

<Warning>
  Scheduling deletion removes your entire organization — people, projects, time entries, reports, and configuration — after the grace period passes. Export any data you need first.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Delete Account">
    Open the user menu with your initials, then click **Delete Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule the deletion">
    Click **Yes, delete my account**. Beebole schedules the account for deletion and notifies all administrators by email.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cancel if you change your mind">
    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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Who can change Account Settings in Beebole?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to click Save after changing a setting?">
    No. Beebole saves each Account Settings edit automatically as you make it — there is no separate Save button on the page.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can a person override the organization's localization defaults?">
    Yes, in part. A person can set their own language and some regional preferences in their profile, while account-wide defaults like currency apply to everyone unless overridden lower down.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I undo deleting my Beebole account?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I change the currency after I have started tracking costs?">
    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.
