# Settings overview

The dashboard's **Settings** page (sidebar) is where every server-wide setting lives. Per-panel and per-option settings are configured in the panel editor. Everything here applies to the whole server.

This section indexes every server-wide setting group so you can jump to the one you need.

## The setting groups

These are the groups on the Settings page, in the order they appear.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><i class="fa-gear">:gear:</i> <strong>Server Settings &#x26; Logging</strong></td><td>Opened and closed log channels, server language, server embed color, support roles, ticket categories, and active-ticket limits.</td><td><a href="/pages/xJxyw78ypk7xPkK63scP">Server Settings &#x26; Logging</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-hand">:hand:</i> <strong>Ticket Claiming</strong></td><td>Claim mode, ping the author on claim, and roles added on claim.</td><td><a href="/pages/C07zR78TUNqDlo5SFARz">Ticket Style and Claiming</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-sliders">:sliders:</i> <strong>Ticket Style and Claiming Settings</strong></td><td>Manual ticket style, thread close behavior, ticket numbering, ping support roles, and staff threads.</td><td><a href="/pages/C07zR78TUNqDlo5SFARz">Ticket Style and Claiming</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-lock">:lock:</i> <strong>Ticket Close &#x26; Transcript Settings</strong></td><td>Requirements at close time, the default close reason, and transcript visibility.</td><td><a href="/pages/Sv2oy3WuSgDnexhaSxXq">Ticket messages</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-clock">:clock:</i> <strong>Ticket Autoclose Settings</strong></td><td>Close-on-leave and timed inactivity rules.</td><td><a href="/pages/IF5BZ0r8Id5ZekK1gryx">Inactivity rules</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-crown">:crown:</i> <strong>Ticket Rating Settings</strong></td><td>Premium post-close rating prompts.</td><td><a href="/pages/ZJP01LC6EVKd946UMthw">What ticket ratings are</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-crown">:crown:</i> <strong>Steam Linking Settings</strong></td><td>Premium Steam-account integration.</td><td><a href="/pages/xl8ZOlixZa4z69uy07g9">What Steam Linking does</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-ban">:ban:</i> <strong>Blocked Roles</strong></td><td>Roles blocked from opening tickets or using the bot.</td><td><a href="/pages/SpzCJl4syoST8cpRvZH3">Blocked Roles</a></td></tr><tr><td><i class="fa-triangle-exclamation">:triangle-exclamation:</i> <strong>Danger Zone</strong></td><td>Edit ticket counters and reset all ticket counters.</td><td><a href="/pages/BwHP8YE82Gy9PEJ2Y0iV">Danger Zone</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Save behavior

The Settings page header reads "Configure your server's settings. All changes are automatically saved." You do not click a Save button. Each change you make to a setting saves on its own.

## Who can edit settings

You need the **Manage Settings** dashboard permission, or be the server owner, or have Discord Administrator or Manage Server.
