# Initial setup of OpenProject for administrators
|
|
|
|
This section will guide you through some basic recommendations for setting up your OpenProject instance as a system administrator and for preparing it for its users.
|
|
For the backend setup and initial technical configurations for on-premise editions please have a look at the [respective section](../../installation-and-operations/installation/packaged/#initial-configuration) in the installation guide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before adding users we recommend to check and configure the following topics:
|
|
|
|
| Topic | What to set up |
|
|
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| [Language settings](../system-settings/display-settings/) | Languages, time and date formats, display options |
|
|
| [User settings](../users-permissions/settings/) | Default user settings, user deletion, user consent |
|
|
| [Roles and permissions](../users-permissions/roles-permissions/) | What users can do (Roles) and the permissions for those roles |
|
|
| [User groups](../users-permissions/groups/) | Create groups that are linked to projects, with a role, and users |
|
|
| [Avatars](../users-permissions/avatars/) | Allow users to upload their photo or Gravatar |
|
|
| [General settings](../system-settings/general-settings/) | Set host name, protocol and welcome text |
|
|
| [Authentication](../authentication/) | Set up authentication methods for users |
|
|
| [Announcements](../announcement/) | Set an announcement to be shown to users on login |
|
|
| [Start page](../../user-guide/start-page) | Set up the home page, shown after login |
|
|
|
|
If required, especially for on-premises versions, it might make sense to have a look at these sections, too:
|
|
