These settings belong to your organization and apply to every computer, so you can view them here but only an organization admin can change them. Admins see a Manage this integration button.

  • Manage account, to change your profile, password and security settings. See Your account and security.
  • Sign out, to disconnect this computer. It stops getting popups until someone signs it in again.
