Settings and people
Organization settings (/settings) is manager-gated. People (/team) is the roster. Your personal profile is Account.
Hive settings
Section titled “Hive settings”Open Organization settings from the avatar menu. That opens Organization settings.
| Area | What you set |
|---|---|
| General | Hive name, timezone, language, task statuses, labels (max 24), currency, hours & rates, and how long trash keeps deleted work (3 days, 5 days, a week, a month, 3 months, or Never). A week is the default. The clock starts when something is deleted. Shortening the window applies on the next daily run. Never keeps items until a manager deletes them now |
| Client invoicing | Company details, who may invoice, tax, notes, designer, reminders |
| Platform plan | Subscription and seats — Billing |
| AI | Provider, key, usage, optional token limit, memory health — AI settings |
| Org knowledge | Who may add and search restricted entries. Everyone may contribute general entries from avatar → {hive name} knowledge. |
| Automations | Trust policy for scheduled workflows, and live call transcripts (Team) — Automations · Meetings |
| Quotes | A weekly graph of each person, from what they said in public channels and how their own week sits — finished work, comments, hours, and what’s due before Sunday. A short daily line is written from that graph, today’s shape, and a private note. It is a kindness, not a status report. Pick the day the graph is rebuilt. Rebuild writes today’s line from the saved graph and today’s shape. The line shows on their phone, on Home, and stays under 44 characters. This screen does not show it |
| Support | Connect how clients email you. Work the queue in Tickets. Team / Enterprise, including trial |
| Plugins | Drive, Monday, Agents install — Plugins |
Members who open settings are sent to Org knowledge. Managers see the full hive page. Keys are never sent back to the browser — only “is a key set.”
Hive timezone drives digests, due-soon, and standup. A person’s timezone only changes how dates render for them.
Hive language is the working language for call transcripts and for new tasks, features, and decisions that come out of a meeting. A person’s native language on Account is optional — when everyone on the call shares it, Whisper uses that; otherwise (and whenever a guest is on the call) the hive language wins.
People and invitations
Section titled “People and invitations”Open People in the rail. The topbar jumps to Teams, and to pending invitations when any are waiting.
Managers invite by email. The link is also copyable if mail is slow. The invite is bound to that address.
- Seats follow the platform plan. After the trial, the hive bills per active member.
- Paid hives bill per active member; accepting an invite can change the Stripe quantity.
- Managers change a person’s role and status (active / inactive) from the ⋮ menu on the roster. Status deactivates them: they lose access and free a seat; their past work stays. You cannot deactivate yourself, or deactivate or demote the last admin.
- You cannot join a hive except by invite. “Create your hive” is always a new organization.
Named Teams are mention targets in chat (@Design) and a way to group the roster. They are not permissions. Project access is still project membership (or manager/admin). When you create or edit a team, pick people from the roster (search, then check). You can also assign teams from a person’s menu on People. In an assignee menu, click a team name to assign its people, or click it again to unassign them.
Presence
Section titled “Presence”People who are in the hive right now show as online. Presence is a signal, not a timesheet.
