The Settings tab lets you configure settings that affect how Atarim interacts with all projects. You can manage general settings, use white label options to customize the interface, and set user permissions.

- Enable or Disable Two-Factor Authentication: Adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a second form of authentication when logging in.
White Label Settings
