Finding settings
Business Summary: Whether you need to confirm your identity, check NTU usage, or share a billing link with finance, this guide shows every path to Settings — sidebar, user menu, and header shortcuts.
You will learn every entry point to workspace settings, deep links to each tab, and shortcuts to Usage & Billing from the header.
Settings live under Settings in the sidebar (sometimes labeled Workspace settings in the user menu).
How this fits in Nimbus
Settings are reachable from global navigation — not buried inside a workstream. That keeps org-wide concerns (identity, billing, workspace context) separate from goal-scoped work.

Most users open Settings from the sidebar. Power users jump to billing from the NTU meter when a run warned about budget pressure.
Entry points
Sidebar → Admin → Settings
The primary path from the left navigation. Opens Settings with the Profile tab selected by default.
User menu → Workspace settings
The avatar or user menu often includes Workspace settings — the same destination as the sidebar link.
Header NTU meter
Click the NTU meter in the workspace header to jump directly to Usage & Billing. This is the fastest path when a run warned you about budget pressure.
Equivalent destination: Settings → Usage & Billing
Billing redirect
Older bookmarked links to billing still open Settings → Usage & Billing.
Deep links by tab
| Tab | How to open |
|---|---|
| Profile | Settings → Profile |
| Members & Directory | Settings → Members & Directory (when shown) |
| Workspace | Settings → Workspace |
| Usage & Billing | Settings → Usage & Billing |
| Security | Settings → Security |
After you select a tab, you can bookmark the page from your browser if you return to it often.
What is not under Settings
Connectors, Governance, workstreams, Company Wiki, and Onboarding live elsewhere in the sidebar — Settings covers identity, org context, Usage & Billing, and security only. There is no standalone Billing nav item; open Settings → Usage & Billing for usage, plans, payment methods, and invoices.
| Destination | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Connectors | Connectors in the sidebar |
| Governance | Governance |
| Workstreams hub | Workstreams in the sidebar |
| Company Wiki | Company Wiki |
| Onboarding | Onboarding |
Mobile and narrow layouts
Sidebar collapse may hide Admin group — open the user menu for Workspace settings. NTU meter may compact to an icon; it still links to Usage when visible.
Example scenario
Finance asks for the usage dashboard before a budget meeting. You click the header NTU meter, land on Usage & Billing, and bookmark the page. You share the bookmark with your admin — no need to navigate through Profile or Workspace tabs first.
Keyboard and power-user tips
On desktop, the sidebar Settings link stays visible while you work inside a workstream — you do not need to exit the goal first. After opening Usage & Billing, bookmark the browser tab if finance reviews consumption weekly. The NTU meter in the header is the fastest path when a Confirm & run dialog warned about budget pressure mid-approval.
What you'll see
What you'll see: Settings page header "Settings" with description covering profile, workspace, usage, and security. Tab strip below; active tab highlighted.

FAQs {#faqs}

Q: Settings requires sign-in? A: Yes — you must be signed in to your Nimbus workspace to open settings.
Q: Which settings tab shows billing? A: Open Usage & Billing at Settings → Usage & Billing, or click the NTU meter in the header.
Q: Why do I see "Workspace settings" in one place and "Settings" in another? A: They are the same page. Navigation labels vary; the page title is Settings.
Q: Can I open Settings from inside a workstream? A: Yes. The sidebar and user menu remain available while you work inside a workstream — you do not need to exit the workstream first.
