Settings overview
Every settings screen in the Viktor web app, where to find it, and who can open it.
Settings in the Viktor web app hold your personal options, your workspace's configuration, and API access. Some tabs are only shown to admins, and some only appear when they apply to your workspace.
Open Settings
- Open the account menu in the app sidebar.
- Select Settings.
You can also go straight to app.viktor.com/settings. It opens the Model tab (/settings/general). The settings sidebar groups tabs under Personal, Workspace and Experimental.
The same account menu has Help center, Support, and Sign out. To sign out, open the account menu and select Sign out.

|---|---|---|---|
| My account | /settings/account | Everyone | App language, the Slack Connection card, and account deletion under Danger zone |
| Keyboard shortcuts | /settings/shortcuts | Everyone | General shortcuts, plus Chat shortcuts where chat in the web app is available |
App language changes the language of buttons, menus and other interface text in the app. Languages your browser or profile suggest are listed first.

Model
The Model tab (/settings/general) has these sections:
- Your default: the model for new chats, projects and Slack threads you start. Everyone sets their own. Leave it on Workspace default to use the workspace's model.
- Workspace default: the model for conversations with Viktor, and the default for scheduled tasks. Admin only.
- Channel default models: a default model of its own for a Slack or Teams channel. See Channel default models.
- Model overrides: the models behind
!fastand!deep, plus any custom commands. Admin only. See Chat commands.
Team settings
The Settings tab of the Team page (/settings/team?tab=settings) includes these cards:
- Team information: your team's name and avatar. Members see "Ask a team admin to edit your team's name or avatar."
- Chat platform: which chat platform Viktor runs in (the Slack connection for a Slack workspace, the Teams connection for a Teams one, or connect buttons if none is connected).
- Automatic teammate invites: when on, Viktor DMs people in your connected Slack workspace inviting them to join your team. The switch is disabled for members.
- Skill refining: lets Viktor improve Shared workspace skills and Personal preference skills in the background overnight. The switches are disabled for members. See Skills.
- Team ID: an identifier to reference when contacting support, with a Copy button. You also enter it on the enterprise SSO sign-in page.
Channel default models
Give any Slack or Teams channel its own default model, like Cheap for a busy support channel or Ultra for deep research. Replies in that channel use it instead of the workspace default or anyone's Your default. !fast and !deep still work for a single reply.
Admins set it on the Model page:
- Open Settings → Model (/settings/general).
- Under Channel default models, click Change channel default models.
- Open a channel and pick Ultra, Smart, Balanced or Cheap, or Workspace default to have it follow the workspace again. Use Search channels or teams to find a channel.
- Click Save.
The dialog shows the credits each channel used in the last 30 days and, before you save, about how many credits a month your changes add or save.
The section lists the channels that have their own default model or a lock, under Slack and Microsoft Teams. Click the lock next to a channel to stop changes to its default model from chat; it then shows Locked. Admins can still change a locked channel here.
You can also ask @Viktor in the channel to change it for you. Viktor posts an approval card, and the change applies once someone approves it. See Approvals.
API
The API page is in the Workspace group for everyone. On the free plan it shows API access is a paid feature with an Upgrade button. On a paid plan it has three tabs:
| Tab | Route | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Quick start | /settings/api-quick-start | Ready-made setup for connecting via MCP. See MCP server. |
| API keys | /settings/api-keys | Create, edit, rotate, revoke and delete keys. See Public API. |
| Docs | /settings/api-docs | The interactive API reference |
Anyone on a paid plan can create a Personal API key. Only admins can create a Team API key; others see "Only team admins can generate team API keys." Key management is covered in Public API → Manage keys.
Experimental
| Tab | Route | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Voice | /settings/voice | Voice model and Spoken voice for talking to Viktor |
| Phone | /settings/phone | Talk to Viktor from your phone: a setup code, or Copy setup link, for an iPhone shortcut that sends Viktor voice requests. Setting it up creates a personal API key for the shortcut. |
Limits by plan and permission
- Admin-only tabs (Permissions, Usage, Audit Logs) are hidden from members. Members who open Usage by link are sent back to the dashboard.
- Model is visible to everyone, and everyone can set Your default, under Workspace default. Above Workspace default, members see "Only workspace admins can change workspace settings." Under Channel default models, members see which public Slack channels have their own default model.
- Audit Logs needs an Enterprise workspace. See Audit logs.
- Slack-specific sections, such as Slack Connection and most of Permissions, only appear in Slack workspaces.
Common problems
- A tab is missing: it is admin only, or it doesn't apply to your workspace. Ask an admin, or check the tables above.
- You can't edit a setting: the control is disabled for members. Ask an admin to change it or to make you an admin.
- You can't find a setting: search for it in the command menu. Results jump straight to the matching section, and sections you can't open are not listed.
- A channel is missing from Change channel default models: Viktor isn't in that channel yet. Add Viktor to the channel, then open the dialog again.
- A thread still uses another model after a channel's default model changed: a thread that already had its own model, such as one started with Your default, keeps it. New threads in the channel use the channel's default model.
