# General settings

> Set the credits new accounts start with, choose where Image and Video Studio results are stored, and reach the settings of installed plugins.

Open **Platform**, **General Settings** in the admin sidebar. The page has two tabs, **General** and **Plugins**. The selected tab is kept in the address as `?tab=plugins`, so you can bookmark it.

## General tab

### Default Registration Credits

The number of credits granted to a user automatically when they register for the first time. Enter a whole number, 0 or more. The default is 0.

* The credits are added when a person signs up with the registration form.
* Accounts created by social sign-in start with 0 credits.
* Accounts you create yourself in [Users](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/users.md) start with the number you type into the **Credits** field of the form.

How credits are spent and how plans refill them is covered in [Credits and allowances](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/saas/credits.md).

### Default Storage

Chooses where new **Image Studio** and **Video Studio** results are stored. **Local server (this machine)** keeps files on your server and is always available. Other choices appear in the list only when a storage provider is installed, enabled and configured.

If the provider you picked is later disabled, MagicPost saves the setting as **Local server (this machine)** the next time you click **Save**, so uploads never point at an unusable backend. For file storage in general, see [File storage](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/advanced/storage.md).

### Free tier

When SaaS Business is on, the tab also shows a link, **Open Free tier**. Free tier limits and features are set on the Free tier page, not here. See [Free tier](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/saas/free-tier.md).

### Save

Click **Save**. The confirmation reads "Settings were saved successfully".

## Plugins tab

This tab collects the settings pages of plugins you have installed from [Plugins and themes](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/plugins-and-themes.md). Each plugin that has settings shows as a card with its name and a short description. Click a card to open it. With no plugins installed the tab reads "No plugins installed yet."

When the SaaS plugin is installed, a **SaaS Business** card appears. It opens a page with one switch, **Enable SaaS Business**. Turning it on makes billing, plans, subscriptions and referral features available across the platform, and adds the Finance and Affiliates sections to the admin sidebar. Click **Save** to apply it. Everything that follows from it is covered in [SaaS overview](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/saas/overview.md).
