How do I configure team settings?

Manage your team name, profile, and workspace configuration.

Team settings control how your workspace is identified and how your account information is displayed. You can access them from Settings in the left sidebar.

Settings Tabs

The Settings area is organized into three tabs:

TabWhat you’ll find
TeamTeam name and workspace configuration
MembersInvite, manage, and remove team members
ProfileYour personal account details and email display

Team Name

Your team name appears in the UpCanary dashboard and in invitation emails sent to new members. To change it:

  1. Go to Settings > Team.
  2. Click the Team Name field.
  3. Enter the new name.
  4. Click Save.

Changes take effect immediately across the workspace.

Where the Team Name Appears

The team name is used in several places across the UpCanary interface. It appears in the top-level navigation so members can confirm which workspace they are working in, which matters if someone belongs to multiple teams. It also appears in the invitation emails sent when you add new members, so recipients can identify the organization they are being invited to join.

The team name is an internal workspace label - it is not displayed on your public status pages or visible to status page visitors. If you want to control the name or branding that appears publicly, that is managed through the status page settings for each individual page.

Profile Settings

Your profile controls how you appear to other team members and what email address is associated with your account.

  • Display name - the name shown next to your activity in the workspace (e.g., in audit events and member lists).
  • Email - the address used for login and notification delivery. Changing your email requires re-verification.

To update your profile, go to Settings > Profile, make your changes, and click Save.

Email Re-Verification

When you update the email address on your profile, the change does not take effect immediately. UpCanary will send a verification email to the new address. You must click the confirmation link in that email before the new address becomes active on your account.

Until the new address is verified, your original email address remains in use for login and notifications. If you do not receive the verification email, check your spam folder or request a new verification link from the profile settings page. The verification link expires after a set period, after which you can request a new one.

This re-verification step protects your account: it ensures that someone who gains temporary access to your session cannot silently change the email address and lock you out.

Workspace Configuration

Additional workspace-level settings - such as default notification rules and timezone preferences - are configured in the Team tab. These settings apply to the whole workspace and are visible to all Owners and Admins.

What Workspace Settings Control

Workspace-level settings affect the behavior of the entire team account rather than a single user’s experience. This includes configuration that applies consistently across all members, such as the timezone used for displaying check timestamps and scheduled maintenance windows, and any default notification behavior that applies when new monitors are created.

Because workspace settings affect all members, changes made here are applied immediately and do not require individual members to take any action. Any Owner or Admin can view and change workspace settings. Members with lower permission levels can see workspace configuration but cannot modify it.

Audit Visibility

Changes made in the Settings area - including team name updates, workspace configuration changes, and member role modifications - are recorded in the workspace activity log. Owners and Admins can review this history to understand what was changed and when.

This audit trail is useful for compliance purposes and for diagnosing configuration issues. For example, if a notification rule stops firing as expected, you can check the activity log to see whether a settings change was made around the time the behavior changed. Individual profile updates, such as display name changes, are recorded against the user who made them.
