# Account Settings

The Account Setting section provides an initial step in setting Integrator accounts rights. It allows specific [user profiles](/total-materia-integrator/creator/user-management/user-profile.md) (most commonly the Administrator) to set data access rights based on departments and [material groups](/total-materia-integrator/creator/materials-management/add-edit-material-data-properties-diagrams-and-documents.md), as well as to configure [export filters](/total-materia-integrator/total-viewer/export-data/one-click-export.md) and add departments.

#### Section Overview

**General:** Configure data access rights and set up export filters.

**Departments:** Set up and add the desired company departments.

* "Data Access": Restrict material access by department. Select the first checkbox to enable users to view only materials designated for their departments.
