Settings Overview

v2.20.1

The Settings page is the central hub for configuring and managing Supracontrol Enterprise. It is accessible to users with sufficient privileges and provides controls ranging from personal profile customisation to system-wide infrastructure configuration.

Navigating Settings

Click the Settings icon in the main navigation bar to open the Settings module. The page uses a collapsible sidebar on the left side to navigate between sections.

The sidebar is divided into three groups. Which items you see depends on your role and which features are enabled on your system.

Note: If you expect to see one of these sections but it is not visible, contact your system administrator to verify that the required feature is enabled.
