# Configuring Settings

Workspace administrators control Agent Mode availability from the Settings page.

## Accessing AI Settings

Navigate to **Settings > Preferences > AI Features** in the groundcover UI. The enable/disable toggle and the cost-management controls all live on this page.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Admin role required.** Only users with the Admin role can view and modify AI settings. If you don't see the AI Features option, contact your workspace administrator.
{% endhint %}

## Enable or Disable Agent Mode

The toggle controls whether Agent Mode is available for a specific backend.

**When enabled:**

* The Agent panel appears in the sidebar
* Users can open the Agent with **Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A**
* All AI-related UI elements are visible

**When disabled:**

* The Agent panel and all AI-related UI elements are hidden
* Keyboard shortcuts for the Agent are inactive

This setting is per backend - you can enable Agent Mode for some backends while keeping it disabled for others.
