Tenant settings walkthrough
Tenant settings are the ecclesia-wide knobs an administrator turns to shape how the scheduler behaves and what members see. Most defaults are sensible; this guide walks each card so you know what a change actually affects. Reading time: seven minutes.
Open the Settings page
Open Manage in the top navigation, then Settings in the Administrator section of the rail (Branding sits just below it). The Settings page is a stack of cards; each covers one concern. Changes save when you click Save settings at the bottom — the form is atomic so partial saves aren’t possible.

Reminders: when the scheduler emails members
Each row in the Reminders card is a “send X days before the occurrence” cadence. Add multiple rows if you want a two-touch schedule (e.g. one at 7 days, one at 1 day). Setting zero rows disables the reminder pipeline entirely.
A per-member override is planned so individual actors can opt in to a personal cadence or out entirely. Until it lands, this card is the policy.

Defaults and roster policy
The Defaults card’s New members willing by default checkbox decides what a new member’s preferences look like on day one. Ticked (the recommended default) means the solver considers them for every role they’re eligible for; unticked means they see a blank preference sheet and have to opt into each role.
A separate Roster policy card carries Allow members with unspecified sex in sex-restricted roles. Off (the safer default) means a member whose sex isn’t recorded is ineligible for sex-restricted roles — they can fill their profile or ask an administrator to.

Directory visibility: who sees what on the members list
Two visibility ladders control what tiers of member see on the Members directory:
- Household detail — who can click through from the directory to a family’s page. The household name always shows in the table; this gates the link, not the column. Defaults to All members.
- Postal address column — whether the address column shows, and to whom. Defaults to Administrators only because addresses are the most sensitive field on the directory.
Both use the same four-tier ladder: All members, Coordinators + admins, Administrators only, Nobody (hides it entirely).

Admin impersonation and member self-edit
Admin impersonation lets administrators sign in as any member to investigate a bug or set something up on their behalf. Every impersonation event is audited. Some ecclesias prefer this off; the default is on for support convenience.
Member self-service lets members edit their own sex after their 7-day onboarding window. Off is the safer default because sex changes affect scheduler behaviour against sex-restricted roles.

Sign-in options live under Security
How members sign in lives on its own Security page (Manage → Security in the side rail), separate from the scheduler settings above.
Sign in with Google is off by default — enable it if your ecclesia wants members to use a Google account rather than a password. The allowed-domains list restricts which Google accounts are accepted (empty means “any Google account that matches a member email”; a list restricts to accounts under those domains). A member still needs an existing tenant record with a matching email; the OAuth flow only replaces the password step, not the member-of-tenant check.
Passkeys (also off by default) let members sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, or a security key. A passkey counts as multi-factor on its own, so there’s no separate code step. It’s a per-tenant opt-in; the member-facing sign-in experience is rolling out.

Save and verify
Click Save settings. A toast confirms the save; the audit log records who changed which fields. Some changes (reminder cadence, directory visibility) take effect immediately; others (default willingness on new members) apply to future member invitations only.

On the iPhone app
Toggle the feature switches from the app's admin Manage hub.
Manage → Tenant settings has two grouped toggle sections: Features (Sunday School, Congregational attendance, Parents see child attendance, Live quizzes, Duty forms) and Access (Passkeys, Allow admin impersonation).

Manage → Tenant settings: Features and Access toggle groups.
On the web only: The rest — roster horizons, email theme, reminder cadence — stays on the web. (Swap approval is a per-role setting in the Roster-role editor, not a tenant toggle.)
What next?
- Roster cycles covers the Roster cycle defaults card in more detail.
- Branding — reached from the Branding item in the Manage side rail — is where tenant name, logo, timezone, and primary colour live, separate from these settings on purpose.
- Every settings change is on the Audit page with actor + field names — useful for “who turned off impersonation and when?”.
