# Account Settings

Account Settings is where you configure your Quper workspace — your organisation profile, security settings, billing, and workspace-wide preferences.

## Accessing Account Settings

Navigate to **Settings → Account** from the left sidebar. Only users with the **Admin** role can view and modify account settings.

## Workspace profile

* **Workspace name** — the display name for your organisation in Quper
* **Workspace slug** — the URL-friendly identifier used in API calls and exports
* **Time zone** — the default time zone used for cost reporting, budget periods, and scheduled reports
* **Fiscal year start** — the month your financial year begins, used to align budget periods and financial reports

## Security

### Single Sign-On (SSO)

Configure SAML 2.0 SSO to require all users to authenticate through your identity provider. See the [Onboarding](/get-started-with-quper/onboarding.md) guide for setup instructions.

### Session management

* **Session timeout** — set how long inactive sessions remain valid (default: 8 hours, maximum: 30 days)
* **Force re-authentication** — require users to re-authenticate before applying optimisation actions

### IP Allowlist

Restrict Quper access to specific IP addresses or CIDR ranges. When enabled, users outside the allowed IPs cannot log in or access the Quper API.

To enable:

1. Go to **Settings → Account → Security → IP Allowlist**
2. Click **Add IP Range** and enter the CIDR notation (e.g. `203.0.113.0/24`)
3. Add all required ranges including your office IPs and VPN exit nodes
4. Click **Enable Allowlist**

{% hint style="info" %}
Before enabling the IP Allowlist, ensure your own IP is in the allowlist. Enabling it without including your current IP will lock you out of the workspace.
{% endhint %}

## Data retention

Quper retains your cloud cost and usage data for **24 months** by default. You can configure a shorter retention period if required for compliance.

Raw billing data from connected integrations is retained separately in your cloud provider's billing systems — Quper does not store a copy of the raw data.

## Workspace deletion

To delete your Quper workspace, contact <support@quper.co>. Workspace deletion is irreversible and permanently removes all cost data, configurations, and user accounts associated with your workspace.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.quper.co/settings/account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
