# Default Settings

> Configure organisation-wide default settings for workdays, screenshots, idle alerts, work hours, timezone, and stealth monitoring in Trackpilots.

The **Default Settings** page allows administrators to configure **organisation-wide default policies** for employees. These settings are automatically applied to new team members and can be overridden at the individual employee level.

🔗 **URL:**  [https://app.trackpilots.com/settings/default-settings](https://app.trackpilots.com/settings/default-settings)

2. Click **Save Changes**
3. System stores configuration

5. Existing users retain their custom overrides

***

## 📊 Impact on Trackpilots Modules

Default settings affect:

* New employee onboarding configuration
* Productivity dashboards
* Attendance & compliance reports
* Monitoring policies
* Agent default configuration

***

## 🔐 Permissions & Access Control

Only users with the following permissions can update default settings:

* **Admin**
* **Custom Role with Settings Permission**

Access control is managed via **[Page Access Control Roles](/docs/access-control/access-control)**.

***

## 🧩 Developer Notes

* Default settings are stored at the **Organization Configuration Service**
* Employee-specific settings override organisation defaults
* APIs should validate:
  * Work hours ≤ 24 hours
  * Productive hours ≤ work hours
  * Screenshot interval ≥ 1 minute
  * Valid timezone format
* Changes are propagated via configuration sync pipelines

***

## ✅ Best Practices

* Define defaults before onboarding employees
* Use blur screenshots for privacy compliance
* Set realistic productive hour targets
* Align timezone with company HQ or payroll systems
* Document default monitoring policies internally
