# System settings

The ***System settings*** section of the ***Administration*** panel is used to manage the global settings of all users and user groups in Devolutions Cloud.

### General

In the ***General*** section of the ***System settings***, manage settings related to temporary passwords, networking, support tickets, and opened sessions.
