The Settings module (also called Account Settings or Account module) allows reviewing and managing account properties (such as added users, groups, contacts, and account links), changing branding configurations for the portals, adjusting your email template and helpdesk configurations, and accessing many other options that affect the workflow of different modules on the CloudBlue Connect platform.
Note
Your available settings vary depending on your account type. Thus, for example, Vendors cannot access the Contracts tab since such accounts typically do not sign the Service Contracts. Furthermore, certain settings (such as the branding) are only available for Distributor accounts.

Users: Displays users that can access the portal as the account staff. The system allows removing or adding new users in your Connect account.

Extension Settings
The Settings module can also be used to access configuration options for your installed extension. Once an extension that features such options is successfully installed, the Settings module will provide an additional menu for available extension configurations:
Note that certain extensions might not provide account-wide settings, and thus the system will not display the additional menu with options.
