Settings
Server-wide defaults: language, timezone and embed color, plus staff access, command permissions and data tools.

Overview
Settings holds options that apply to the whole bot in your server. It has four tabs: General, Staff Access, Roles & Permissions, and Other.
General sets the default language (Java Lava responds bilingually, in English and Spanish), the timezone used for scheduled messages and log timestamps, and the default embed color.
The Other tab has the data tools: download everything stored for your server as a JSON file, reset module settings, reset the whole bot configuration, or delete all data for the server. These actions are irreversible, so each asks you to confirm.
Setup

Choose Settings under Admin in the dashboard sidebar. You need admin access to change these options.

Manage staff access
Use the Staff Access and Roles & Permissions tabs to decide who can use the dashboard and which roles can run which commands.

Use the data tools carefully
On the Other tab you can download your server's data or reset and delete things. Download a copy first if you are unsure.
