> What a Customer's admin changes inside their own Tenant, what the Startup sets for everyone, and what no one below may loosen.

A [Setting](/business/nouns/setting) is a choice a [Tenant](/business/nouns/tenant) inherits from its nearest holder unless it sets its own. [Studio](/business/nouns/studio), then [Startup](/business/nouns/startup), then Tenant: the nearest value wins, and a locked one wins everywhere below it.

## Who sets what
| Set by | For | Leaseline's example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The founder or the Startup's agents | Every [Customer](/business/nouns/customer) | Notices go out 60 days before a lease ends |
| The Customer's `owner` or `admin` | Their own Tenant | Riverside Property sends its notices at 90 days |

A child may tighten a value but never loosen it. Leaseline locks "notices go out at least 30 days ahead", so Riverside Property may choose 90 and may not choose 14.

## The settings screen
Every `saas` [App](/business/nouns/app) compiles one settings screen per Tenant. It lists each Setting the Tenant may change, its inherited value, and who set it. A locked Setting shows its value and its holder, with no control.

Members, notices, connected tools and billing sit beside it, each on its own screen:

- [Members and sign-in](/products/app/tenancy-and-identity)
- [Notices](/products/app/notifications)
- [Connected tools](/products/app/integrations-in-your-app)
- [Billing](/products/app/sell)

## Every change is an Action
Changing a Setting is a call like any other. It leaves an [Action](/business/nouns/action) with who changed it and the value before, so the [audit log](/products/app/audit-log-for-admins) shows who moved the notices to 90 days.

## Next
[Notices](/products/app/notifications) covers how each person chooses to hear from the App.
