Organization Settings

Configure preferences that apply to your entire CloudZero organization. These settings control your organization's display name, org-wide messaging, user registration, default Explorer behavior, and session duration.

Organization message

Broadcast a message to every user in your organization. When a user dismisses the message, it reappears after one day. Changing the message text resets all dismissals, so every user sees the updated message immediately.

To send a message:

1. Toggle Enable organization message to On to display the message configuration fields.
2. Select a Message Type from the dropdown:
   • Announcement for general updates
   • Warning for alerts that need attention
   • Problem for issues affecting the organization
   • Confirmation for acknowledging a completed action
3. Enter your message (up to 500 characters).
4. Select Save.

To remove the message: Toggle Enable organization message to Off. The change saves automatically.

Organization name

Set a display name for your organization. This name is visible to all users in your organization.

To change it:

1. Select the pencil icon next to the organization name.
2. Enter a new name.
3. Select the checkmark icon to save, or the X icon to cancel.
4. Select Confirm.

Invite only

Control whether users can self-register for your organization or must be invited first. When this setting is off, any user with a matching email domain can join your organization. When turned on, users must receive an invitation before they can register.

To enable it: Toggle Restrict registration to invited users only to On.

Explorer Trends default

Set whether Cost Trends comparison data is shown by default in Explorer for all users in your organization. Cost Trends is on by default. Individual users can still toggle Cost Trends on or off, and that preference persists across browser sessions.

To change it: Toggle Show Trends by Default in Explorer to On or Off.

Billing and SSO

View your organization's billing status and SSO provider at a glance.

This section is read-only. To manage SSO, go to Settings > SSO Integrations. To change billing configuration, contact your account manager.

Session duration

Set how long users in your organization stay signed in to the CloudZero web app and to AI tools connected through the MCP server. By default, the web app signs users out after 4 hours with no activity, and AI tools ask users to sign in again after 7 days. For every option and what counts as activity, see Session duration.

To change it:

1. Under Session Duration, select a value from Web app idle timeout, MCP maximum session duration, or both.
2. Select Save.
3. If the change shortens either session, review the old and new values in the confirmation dialog and select Save.

Open sessions pick up the change without signing in again. For when each surface applies it, see Change the session duration.
