Workspace Settings is the tab in Workspace Administration where an Administrator sets the organization's profile, language, time zone, contacts and calendar. Security and AI settings sit on their own tabs beside it.
Only Administrators can open it. The changes apply to the whole workspace.
Example: a compliance team sets up its new workspace before inviting control owners. Its Administrator fills in the workspace profile, sets the time zone, adds a primary contact and marks the company holidays so due dates make sense.
