• Settings
• Email
• Slack
• Authentication
• Maps
• Localization
• Appearance
• Public sharing
• Embedding in other applications
• Caching

Monitoring access

Monitoring access sets permissions on the following Admin tabs:

Subscriptions and alerts

This setting determines who can set up:

People will need to be in groups with either view or edit access to the collection that contains the dashboard or question in order to set up alerts. See Collection permissions.
