Admin Settings are an important part of managing an account in SIMnet. SIMnet administrators have access to all courses, users, content, and reports across their entire school or URL. Only administrators have access to account level settings in SIMnet.
{% endhint %}

If you are the admin for your school's account or URL, you will have access to Admin Settings in the lower-left side of your navigation.

#### Student Settings

When Allow Student Self-Registration is enabled, this option allows students to create their own SIMnet accounts from the login page. This may be disabled by default depending on your account setup.

Enabling Allow Students to Edit Details lets students modify their name, email, username, and password. You can then choose which of those you allow students to modify. If you are using an LMS, it's not recommended to allow these changes.

If you make any updates click Apply in the lower-right of the panel.

* Credentials enables the issuance of digital credentials for students.
* Courtesy Access Self-Registration allows students to activate Courtesy Access.

## 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://help.simnetonline.com/instructor-experience/admin-settings/admin-settings-general.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.
