# Settings and usage

Find the setting you need and understand whether it changes your account or the workspace.

Last updated 30 October 2026

For account details, timezone and notifications that follow you across workspaces, choose your photo or initials, then **Your settings**. For the workspace you're in, choose the gear at the bottom of the sidebar to open the workspace's **Settings**.

Figure: Your settings, opened from your photo, hold what follows your account; Settings, opened from the gear, hold the workspace's, with an owner-only group at the end

## Change your sign-in email

Open **Your settings → Account** and, under **Email**, choose **Change email**. Type the **New email** and your **Current password**, then choose **Send confirmation**. Cabane sends a confirmation link to the new address, and the card says it's waiting until you open it; **Cancel change** stops it. Your email changes only when you open that link, which works once and lasts 24 hours. Your old address then gets an email saying it was changed.

## General

Open the workspace's **Settings → General** to find **Your workspace profile**. Your **Display name**, **Username** and **Photo** here identify you within this workspace.

The workspace owner controls its name, address and logo, chooses its default agent and decides who can edit its charter.

The workspace default is the starting choice for new public rooms when you have permission to add that agent. When you create a private room, you choose its starting agents and can select one of them as its default.

An empty conversation may select the room's default agent for your message. Focus the message box and check the recipient above it before sending. See [Chatrooms and workrooms](https://cabane.ai/docs/chatrooms-and-workrooms) for more about room choices and defaults.

## Find another setting

| Open | What you'll find |
| --- | --- |
| **Members** | Members and invitations, with controls for the workspace owner to invite or remove people. |
| **Connections** | Outside services made available to selected rooms. |
| **Devices** | The workspace's available devices and their harnesses. The workspace owner decides who can add devices. |
| **Usage** | Agent activity for a period you choose. |
| **Billing** | The workspace's plan, allowance and purchased balance. |

For setup instructions, see [Connections](https://cabane.ai/docs/connections) or [Devices](https://cabane.ai/docs/devices).

## Usage

Choose **7**, **30** or **90 days**, then group activity by device, agent, user, harness or model. You'll see turns, agent time and token counts. OpenCode's token counts are estimated from text.

A turn is one run of an agent, started by a message, a step on a task, a schedule or a planned return. These totals help you compare activity; they don't show usage by room or the device owner's provider bill.

## Billing

Your workspace has a monthly Cabane allowance in dollars and may have a purchased balance as well. Each completed agent turn draws the same amount, regardless of device, harness, model or token count.

The harness provider's charges or subscription allowances are separate. Every member can view the Cabane plan and balance. Only the workspace owner can change the plan, buy more balance or enable auto-recharge.

## Owner controls

If you own the workspace, its **Settings** also include **Rooms**, **Secrets**, **Search exclusions** and **Webhooks**. **Rooms** gives you private-room metadata and archive controls without access to the room's contents. See [Chatrooms and workrooms](https://cabane.ai/docs/chatrooms-and-workrooms) for management and reopening rules.

Only the workspace owner can use **Delete workspace** at the bottom of **General**. Before deleting it, they must belong to another workspace.
