General settings

General settings is the dashboard page where you set account-wide rules for your Maglr environment. It covers:

• Project rights: which projects users can see and edit when a project isn't in a category of your own.
• Language settings: which languages your projects can be published in.
• Project security: whether new projects are secured automatically.
• Account security: whether all users must use Two-factor Authentication (2FA) or Single Sign-on.
• Templates: whether Maglr's default example projects and page templates are hidden.

Opening and saving General settings

General settings is available to Super admins. All sections on the page are saved together with one button.

1. In the top navigation bar of the Maglr dashboard, click Settings.
2. Click General settings.
3. Change the settings you need. Each section is described below.
4. Click Save settings at the top of the page.

Changes are only saved when you click Save settings. If you leave the page before that, your changes are lost.

Project rights

Project rights decides which projects users can see and edit when a project isn't in a category of your own. In General settings, under Project rights, choose one of the two options for Rights without category:

• Show projects to all users: all users can see and edit each other's projects.
• Only show user's own projects: a user only sees their own projects, and projects another user has explicitly shared with them. Super admins and Team leaders still see all projects.

Click Save settings at the top of the page to apply your choice.

This setting only applies to projects that aren't in a category of your own. Access to projects inside a category is set per category, with permission roles for each user. See Create a category and Restrict or grant users access to publications.

Language settings

Language settings in General settings decides which languages your projects can be published in. For example, if you create publications in both English and French, tick both English and French.

1. Go to Settings → General settings.
2. Under Language settings, tick each language your projects should be available in.
3. Click Save settings at the top of the page.

If you use multiple languages on one domain, Maglr automatically places a language switch on the overview page.

Some languages are greyed out and can't be unticked:

• Marked [1]: projects in your dashboard use this language.
• Marked [2]: this is the default language of a domain. To change it, go to Settings → Domain names, click the pencil icon next to the domain, choose another language under Main language and click Save changes.

Project security

Project security in General settings secures every new project automatically. This section only appears if your plan includes login links.

When you tick Automatically secure projects and click Save settings, every project created from then on starts with security turned on and "Automatically generate a login link" enabled, so the publication is accessed through a secure login link. Existing projects don't change.

See Securing your projects for how project security and login links work.

Account security

You can require all users in your Maglr environment to sign in with Two-factor Authentication (2FA) or with Single Sign-on (SSO). In General settings, under Account security, tick one of these options and click Save settings:

• Two-factor Authentication (2FA): all users must secure their account with the Microsoft or Google Authenticator app. See Enable two-factor authentication for your account.
• Single Sign-on (SSO, Enterprise only): all users must log in with their business email address (Microsoft or Google). See Enable Single Sign-on for your account.

You can require one of the two, not both. When one option is ticked, the other is greyed out.

For more about these options, see Enable additional security for all users.

Templates

The Templates section in General settings lets you hide Maglr's default templates, so users only see the templates saved in your own account. This section only appears on accounts that include the Block editor.

• Hide Maglr example projects: when users create a new project, Maglr's default example projects are hidden. Only your account's own saved example projects are shown.
• Hide Maglr page templates: when users add a new page or open the template library, Maglr's default page templates are hidden. Only your account's own saved page templates are shown.

Both settings apply to all of Maglr's default example projects and page templates, not only those for the Block editor. Tick the options you want and click Save settings at the top of the page.

See Convert a project into a template for how to save your own templates.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I untick a language in General settings?

A language in General settings is greyed out when projects in your dashboard use it (marked [1]), or when it's the default language of a domain (marked [2]). To free a language marked [2], go to Settings → Domain names, click the pencil icon next to the domain, choose another language under Main language and click Save changes.

Can I require both 2FA and Single Sign-on for all users?

No. Under Account security in General settings, you can require either Two-factor Authentication (2FA) or Single Sign-on for all users, not both. When one option is ticked, the other is greyed out.

Does Automatically secure projects change my existing projects?

No. The Automatically secure projects option in General settings only applies to projects created after you turn it on and click Save settings. To secure an existing project, change the security settings of that project. See Securing your projects.

Why don't I see the Templates section in General settings?

The Templates section in General settings only appears on accounts that include the Block editor.

Why don't I see General settings?

General settings is available to Super admins. If you don't see it under Settings, ask a Super admin of your Maglr account to change these settings.
