# Settings

> Find every organisation-wide setting in Ainomos, see what it is for, and jump to the page that explains it.

**Settings** is where platform admins configure Ainomos for the whole organisation: how it looks, who may do what, which models it uses, where audit events go, and what happens when something breaks. Settings that belong to one room, such as its members and rules, are managed in the room itself. See [rooms](https://docs.ainomos.ch/admin/rooms.md).

## Who sees Settings

Who can do this: platform admins.

The **Settings** entry appears in the account menu only for people with the Platform admin role. Anyone else who opens the address sees a notice that the page is only for platform admins. To give someone the role, see [roles](https://docs.ainomos.ch/admin/roles.md).

## Open Settings

**1. Open the account menu**

Click your name at the foot of the left rail. The menu is labelled **Account**.

**2. Choose Settings**

The page **Platform settings** opens. It shows every setting as a tile, sorted into six groups.

**3. Open a tile**

Each settings screen shows the name of its group above the title, and a **Back** button that returns you to the overview.

## Find a setting

Type in **Search settings** at the top of the page, for example "SSO", "logs" or "roles". The search looks at each tile's title, its description, its group and a list of common terms. So "SIEM" finds **Log shipping**, "SMTP" finds **Mail server**, and "S3" finds **File storage**. Upper and lower case and accents make no difference, and German spellings such as "ae" for "ä" match too.

While a search is active, a line such as "3 of 19 settings" tells you how many tiles match. Click **Reset search** to see all of them again. If nothing matches, the page says **No matching settings**.

The search only narrows what you see. It does not change who may open a setting.

### Advanced

These two settings have no page of their own.

**Data import** loads a bundle into your organisation: a .zip file with rooms, knowledge, subscriptions, rules, decisions and agents, described by the guide on the page. Before anything is written, a preview lists what will be created, updated or skipped, and whether the bundle counts as demo material or as your own content. The same page offers shipped demo packs and **Clean up demo data**, which removes everything marked as demo and leaves your own content alone.

**Platform Reset** returns the organisation to a clean state. Choose a scope:

| Scope | What it deletes |
| - | - |
| **Demo data** | The seeded demo and sample data. Your own content stays. |
| **Factory reset** | All rooms, memories, rules, agents and decisions. Only the platform infrastructure, the platform-admin identity and the empty top-level room remain. |

The page first shows what the reset would delete and what stays protected. To confirm, you type the organisation's name exactly in **Tenant name**. If protected content sits inside a room the reset would remove, Ainomos refuses and deletes nothing.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A factory reset deletes your organisation's content. Use it only on test or demo organisations.

Who can do this: platform admins, for both settings.
