In a private BIMcollab Cloud space, you can define several space settings as an administrator.
To edit these settings follow these steps:
  1. Go to the Administration dashboard by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner



    If you do not see the gear icon, you do not have administrative rights in the space.
  2. On the Subscription tab, click 'Space settings'



  3. Change the settings:
    1. Default language

    2. Two-factor authentication (Connected and Enterprise only)

        When Two-factor authentication is enforced, users will be required to connect an authentication app to their account when they set their password for the first time or when they try to login the first time after this setting has been turned on.
