title: Admin Controls - Zed Business description: Configure AI, collaboration, and data sharing settings for your entire Zed Business organization.

Admin Controls

Owners and admins can configure settings that apply to every member of the organization.

Most controls apply server-side to anything that routes through Zed's infrastructure. Some, like the Collaboration toggle, are enforced client-side and require members to be on a minimum Zed version. These controls don't cover bring-your-own-key (BYOK) configurations, external agents, or third-party extensions, since those work independently of Zed's servers.

Accessing admin controls

Admin controls are available to owners and admins in the organization dashboard at dashboard.zed.dev. Navigate to your organization, then select Data & Privacy from the sidebar to configure these settings.

Collaboration

The Collaboration toggle controls whether members can use Zed's real-time collaboration features, including Channels, shared projects, and voice chat. Collaboration is off by default for Business organizations.

This control is configured from the Data & Privacy page in the organization dashboard. It is enforced client-side and requires members to be on Zed 0.233 or later. Members on older versions will not have the setting enforced.

Hosted AI models

The Zed Model Provider toggle controls whether members can use Zed's hosted AI models:

  • On: Members can use Zed's hosted models for AI features.
  • Off: Members must bring their own API keys via Providers or use external agents for AI features.

Edit Predictions

The Edit Prediction toggle controls whether members can use Zed's hosted Edit Predictions via the Zeta model family. Members using third-party providers or local models for edit predictions are not affected.

Edit Prediction Feedback controls whether members can submit feedback on edit predictions. This setting is only configurable when Edit Prediction is enabled.

Agent Thread Feedback

The Agent Thread Feedback toggle controls whether members can submit feedback on agent thread responses. When disabled, members cannot rate or provide feedback on AI agent conversations.

Data sharing

On Free and Pro, data sharing with Zed for AI improvement is opt-in per member. On Business, it's off by default and controlled by the Agent Thread Feedback and Edit Prediction Feedback toggles above.
