Company Settings: save, defaults, email, and security

For: Administrators with SETTINGS_MANAGE. Checked: Vega v1.126.2, 8 October 2026.

Open Admin Console → Settings. These are company-wide controls. The visible sections depend on the company's licence. First check the value shown in your own portal: an administrator may have customized it, and environment configuration can override a shipped fallback.

Settings navigation and Email section

  1. Use the left section list or Search settings to find a control. A direct /admin/settings/<section> link opens the same section; Vega also remembers the last section in this browser.
  2. Change a switch, choice, number, or text value. Number controls show their unit and allowed range. A changed section shows an unsaved marker. Switching sections keeps the draft in this Settings screen.
  3. The current Email footer and Email accent color appear below the sender name. The company's values can differ from the shipped fallbacks.
  4. Save changes saves all pending Settings edits together. When there are no edits, it reads Saved and is disabled.

Reset to default restores the displayed default as a draft; it does not save immediately. Some switches ask how to activate a backlog; answer that prompt before saving. A secret is masked; its configured hint does not reveal the value. Leave a configured secret blank to retain it, or use the provided remove/undo controls if intentionally clearing it.

Before saving several changes, review every section marked unsaved. For module-specific options, see Document Control, Notices, and Safety Reporting. Crew Records and Planning and EFB, Voyage, Manuals, and add-ons are described in this Admin section.

Email

The Sender display name is the name recipients see; it does not change the server's sender address. The shipped fallback is Vega Software. The Email footer adds an automated-message note unless customized. Email accent color accepts a #rgb or #rrggbb hex value; the fallback is #0369a1. Sent email delivery-record retention controls how long delivery records are retained, from 30 to 730 days, with a 180-day fallback. It does not set Audit Log retention. The screenshot shows the current local demo values, which may be configured differently at your company.

Security

Security setting controls in the local demo

  1. Session lifetime controls newly created sign-in sessions, from 1 to 48 hours; the shipped fallback is 24 hours. It does not retroactively reissue an existing session.
  2. Minimum password length accepts 8–32 characters; fallback 8. The uppercase letter, digit, and special-character rules still apply independently.
  3. Password reset link lifetime accepts 10–120 minutes; fallback 30 minutes. After expiry, request another reset link.
  4. Account activation link lifetime accepts 1–72 hours; fallback 24 hours. An administrator can resend an expired user invitation from Users.

If Save changes rejects a value, check the displayed range and format. If a setting is absent, check the licence and your SETTINGS_MANAGE permission. Avoid putting credentials into a text setting or a screenshot; use only the masked secret control intended for credentials.
