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.

These controls apply to Zed's server-side features, meaning anything that routes through Zed's infrastructure. They 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

Administrators can disable Zed's real-time collaboration features for the entire organization. This covers the features in the Collaboration Panel: Channels, shared projects, and voice chat.

When collaboration is disabled, members won't see collaboration features in their Zed client.

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 to use AI features.

This toggle only affects Zed's hosted model service. Members using their own API keys are not affected.

Edit Predictions

The Edit Prediction settings in Data & Privacy control Edit Predictions for the organization:

  • Edit Prediction: Enable or disable Edit Predictions for all members.
  • Edit Prediction Feedback: Allow or block members from submitting feedback on edit predictions. This setting is only available 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

By default, data sharing with Zed for AI improvement is opt-in for individual users not on a Business plan. Members choose individually whether to share edit prediction training data or AI feedback via ratings.

Administrators can enforce a no-sharing policy org-wide via the Agent Thread Feedback and Edit Prediction Feedback toggles. Members cannot opt into either form of data sharing when these are disabled.
