Tribe Profile & Settings
Finding the right tribe settings screen
Two different screens are called Tribe Settings. This explains which is which and how to reach each one.
Last updated October 14, 2026
The tribe's own profile
Open the tribe and look for the cog icon on the tribe's home card. That opens Edit Tribe — the day-to-day screen with eight tabs.
| Tab | What is on it |
|---|---|
| About | Phone, WhatsApp, email addresses and timezone. |
| Notifications | Who is emailed and texted about enquiries and campaigns. |
| Website | The copy that appears on this tribe's web page. |
| Location | Address, region and map pin. |
| Opening Hours | Regular hours, split shifts and one-off closures. |
| Social | Social profile and review links. |
| Media | Logo, banner images, square image, gallery and team members banner. |
| Settings | Enquiry options — AI summaries, unknown-caller emails, unsubscribes. |
The organisation administrator screen
In the tribe's menu, Tribe Settings is marked Org admins only. It holds the things a tribe must not change about itself — its name, slug, status, type, tags, region, which websites it belongs to, its territory, its API keys, and the switches controlling what the tribe may edit.
Its tabs are General, Communications, Address & Territory and Privacy. Communications is a link out to the email domain screen rather than a panel.
Organisation-wide tribe settings
A third place, under the Tribes application rather than on any one tribe, sets the rules for every tribe at once — whether tribes may edit their own details at all, whether they can upload a logo, whether holiday and custom hours are available, and the field-by-field access matrix.
These screens are listed under Settings in the Tribes menu. Each one opens for anybody whose role includes the permission group in the table below, so you do not need to make somebody an Owner or Administrator to let them look after them. You tick the groups on the role under Organisation Roles in your organisation settings.
| Screen | To open it | To change it |
|---|---|---|
| Manage Tribe Types (tribe types and tribe tags) | Edit Tribe or Manage Tribe | Types: Edit Tribe or Manage Tribe. Tags: Manage Tribe. |
| Manage Tribe Regions | View Tribe, Edit Tribe, Manage Tribe or Edit Organisation Settings | Manage Tribe or Edit Organisation Settings. Sync Advisor to Tribes needs Manage Tribe. |
| Manage Tribe Settings | Manage Tribe or Edit Organisation Settings | The same |
| Tribe Fields Settings | Manage Tribe or Edit Organisation Settings | The same |
| Manage Default Content | View Tribe or Manage Tribe | Manage Tribe |
| Directory Settings | View Tribe Directory | Edit Tribe Directory |
Creating and editing Tribe Components needs Edit Tribe or Manage Tribe. Deleting a tribe type, a tribe tag or a component type needs Manage Tribe, which also lets the holder delete tribes, so keep it for the people who should be able to do that.
The other screens on a tribe
Several settings live on their own menu entries rather than in either screen above: Team Members, Tribe Administrators, Communications Settings, Tribe Store Settings, Payment Providers, Customer Access, Social Connections, Software Integrations, Billing, and — for organisation administrators — Change Log and Telephone Numbers.
