Workspace settings

Settings is where you shape Hive for yourself and for your whole workspace. Open it from the workspace menu (Workspace settings) or go to /settings. Settings replaces the sidebar with its own navigation, grouped into four sections.

Pages marked Admin only are hidden from, and unreachable by, anyone who is not an Owner or Admin. Other pages are visible to everyone; some are read-only unless you are an Owner or Admin.

Account

Personal settings that apply only to you.

Page	What it controls
Profile	Your name and avatar.
Preferences	Personal defaults for how Hive behaves for you.
Custom Instructions	Standing instructions Hive follows in your chats.
Memory	Your personal saved memories and whether Hive may use them. See Personal memory.
Notifications	Which in-app notifications you see in the bell. Hive does not send email or push notifications.
Security	Your active sign-in sessions, with sign-out per device.
Shared projects	Ask projects other people have shared with you.
Usage	Your own model usage and credits.
Get Started	Your onboarding checklist.

Settings that apply to everyone in the workspace.

Page	Access	What it controls
Overview	Admin only	A summary of the workspace’s setup.
General	Admin only	Workspace name and basic details.

Products

Per-product settings. Most product pages include a Who can use this product? control:

Everyone in this workspace,
Selected members and groups, or
Nobody.

As the page itself notes, changing this does not grant organisation roles or access to private resources — it only decides who sees the product.

Page	What it controls
Chat	Access to Ask Hive.
Agents	Access to Agent Studio.
Skills	Reusable skills available to chats and agents.
Workflows	Access to Workflows.
Scheduled tasks (Admin only)	Access to Scheduled tasks.

Company knowledge	Workspace knowledge sources for the Business Brain.
Chat capabilities	Which Ask tools (web search, document creation and so on) are available.
Chat disclaimer	A notice shown to members in chat.
New chat info boxes	Tips shown on a new chat.
Sharing disclaimer	A notice shown when someone shares a chat.
Chat sharing	Whether chats can be shared.
Chat memory	Allow chat memory — whether earlier turns of a conversation are sent with each new message. On by default.

Settings worth reviewing first

When you set up a new workspace, an Owner or Admin should look at these early:

Governance

Confirm the autonomy levels and spend caps match your appetite for risk. Everything starts conservative.

Models

Restrict the model list if your organisation has approved only certain AI providers. An empty allow-list means no restriction.

Data sharing

Decide whether to help improve Hive with this workspace’s data. It stays off unless you turn it on.

Products and access

Limit Agents, Workflows or the Brain to the people who should use them during rollout.

Billing

Choose seats and plan layers before the trial ends. See Trial and payments.

Roles and permissions

Who can change what.

Safety and control

The Governance page in depth.

Data protection

Data sharing, retention and deletion.

Billing and plans

Seats, credits and layers.
