# Configure default settings for new users
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Organization administrators can configure the default values of
 | 
						|
personal preference settings for new users joining the
 | 
						|
organization. This can help seamlessly customize the Zulip experience
 | 
						|
to match how the organization in question is using Zulip.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Existing users' preferences cannot be modified by administrators, and
 | 
						|
users will be able to customize their own settings once they
 | 
						|
join. Administrators can customize defaults for all personal
 | 
						|
preference settings, including the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Privacy settings:
 | 
						|
    * Displaying [availability](/help/status-and-availability) to other users
 | 
						|
    * Allowing others to see when the user has [read
 | 
						|
      messages](/help/read-receipts)
 | 
						|
    * Allowing others to see when the user is [typing a
 | 
						|
      message](/help/typing-notifications)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Preferences:
 | 
						|
    * [Language](/help/change-your-language)
 | 
						|
    * [Time format](/help/change-the-time-format)
 | 
						|
    * [Light theme vs. dark theme](/help/dark-theme)
 | 
						|
    * [Font size](/help/font-size)
 | 
						|
    * [Line spacing](/help/line-spacing)
 | 
						|
    * [Emoji theme](/help/emoji-and-emoticons#change-your-emoji-set)
 | 
						|
    * [Home view](/help/configure-home-view)
 | 
						|
      ([Inbox](/help/inbox) vs.
 | 
						|
      [Recent conversations](/help/recent-conversations) vs.
 | 
						|
      [Combined feed](/help/reading-strategies#combined-feed))
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Notification settings:
 | 
						|
    * What types of messages [trigger notifications][default-notifications]
 | 
						|
    * Which topics users will [automatically follow](/help/follow-a-topic). This
 | 
						|
      minimizes the need to [mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) other users
 | 
						|
      to get their attention.

{start_tabs}

## Configure default language for new users
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Your organization's [language](/help/configure-organization-language) will be
 | 
						|
the default language for new users when Zulip cannot detect their language
 | 
						|
preferences from their browser, including all users [created via the Zulip
 | 
						|
API](/api/create-user).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Under **Automated messages and emails**, change the **Language for
 | 
						|
   automated messages and invitation emails**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
