System configuration¶

Admin → Settings → System configuration edits workspace-wide settings. Unlike most other admin pages, what you change here is stored in the workspace database, not in a file on the server.

Sections¶

System¶

Setting	Effect
Time zone	The workspace time zone. Timestamps are stored in UTC and shown in this zone when the user has no personal preference
Maximum session lifetime	How long a session can last before the user has to sign in again
Expiration year	The year used for date-related limits in the workspace

Preferences¶

Setting	Effect
Default language	The language used for users who have not chosen one

Proxy¶

If the workspace reaches external services through a proxy, set the host, port, user, and password. Leaving the password blank keeps the current one, so you can change the host without re-entering the secret.

Where these values live¶

This matters when a value seems to be ignored:

Store	Who writes it	Scope
Workspace database	This page (and the other admin pages)	The workspace
`env.ini` of the workspace	Edited on the server, or written by the installer	The workspace, and it takes precedence for the keys it defines
Global `env.ini`	Legacy installations	Deprecated; do not rely on it

Saving this page does not rewrite env.ini. If a key exists in both places, the file wins, and the page will look as if the change did not apply. The installer writes integration keys (RABBITMQ_*, the AI service URL) and the UTC time-zone flag, which is why those are not edited here.

Save¶

Review the values and save. The change applies to the whole workspace; session changes may require users to sign in again.

Permissions¶

This page requires PM_SETUP. The permission codes are listed in Permission reference.

System — read the current versions and values.
Environment — regional formats and login behaviour.
Language — install language packages.
Email servers — outgoing mail, which is configured separately.
