Settings is your group's control panel, split into six tabs. General holds region and roster rules, Raid Data controls Warcraft Logs, death tracking, and custom bosses, Loot holds Loot History, Droptimizer standards and wishlist defaults, API Access shares data with outside tools, the Audit Log tracks who changed what, and the Danger Zone holds the actions you can't undo.
Finding a setting
Open Settings
From your Group Hub sidebar, open Settings.
Pick a sub-view
A row of tabs across the top switches between General, Raid Data, Loot, API Access, Audit Log, and Danger Zone.
Change what you need
Settings are laid out as compact rows: each one names the setting, says what it does in a line, and puts the switch or dropdown on the right. Choosing an option applies it right away; there's no separate save button to remember.
What lives where
| Tab | Who sees it | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| General | Region and default realm: everyone. The rest: admins only. | Region & default realm, calendar server time, roster claiming mode, letting players self-add, the raid summary gear floor, whether new resets start as private drafts, the default permission preset for new members, and note-nickname settings |
| Raid Data | Admins | Warcraft Logs import/view permissions, the wipe death-tracking limit, per-player reliability sharing, and custom bosses |
| Loot | Admins | Loot History permissions and Sort responses, Droptimizer standards, wishlist priority names, the wishlist export, loot view defaults, and targetable loot |
| API Access | Admins | Turning API sharing on or off, managing your one API key, and your hourly quota |
| Audit Log | Admins, plus anyone with View Audit Log (officers by default) | A record of who changed what in your group, and when. Covered in full in its own guide. |
| Danger Zone | Everyone, but the destructive actions are gated by role | Transfer ownership and delete the group (owner only), or leave the group (everyone else) |
If you're not an admin, the Raid Data, Loot, and API Access tabs don't show up in that row at all. Audit Log shows up only if you have the View Audit Log permission, which officers get by default. Deep-linking to a hidden tab directly shows a notice instead of the page.
Sharing your data with other tools
API Access is how you let outside tools, like a Discord bot, a spreadsheet, or your own site, read your group's roster, resets, and note metadata. It's off by default: nothing leaves your group until an admin turns it on.
Turn on API Sharing
Flip the switch in the API Access tab. Nothing is exposed until this is on.
Create a key
Describe what you're building (at least 10 characters, so we know what's using your data) and optionally leave a contact. You get one key per group.
Copy the secret now
The full key is shown exactly once, right after you create it. Store it somewhere safe; there's no way to see it again later.
API quota by boost tier
Your group's hourly budget is set by its boost tier: 60 points/hour on Tier 1, 225/hour on Tier 2, and 600/hour on Tier 3. Reading data costs 1 point, saving a change costs 2, and importing a droptimizer costs 5. A cached response your tool already has (a 304) is free and doesn't touch your quota at all.
Regenerating or revoking a key
Regenerate replaces your key immediately, prefilled with your current description so you only need to change what's different. Revoke removes it with no replacement. Either one breaks any integration still using the old key right away, so line up the swap before you click it. You can always create a new key afterward.
Raid Data
The Raid Data tab (renamed from "Config") governs what the tool learns from your logs: Warcraft Logs, deaths, and custom bosses. The Warcraft Logs group only appears once a WCL guild is linked.
- Warcraft Logs: who can import guild reports and retry failed imports, and who can open the Insights and WCL Stats tabs.
- Raid Insights: the wipe death limit caps how many deaths per player count against a wipe pull's stats (cascade deaths at the end of a wipe are always excluded), and per-player reliability sharing shows every raider the full reliability table instead of just their own row. Officers always see everyone either way.
- Custom Bosses: turns on the advanced Custom Boss builder so your group can plan around bosses with their own phases and ability timers.
Loot
The Loot tab holds every loot setting for your team, from Loot History to how the wishlist views open.
- Season: only while two seasons overlap. Picks which season everyone's loot views open on.
- Loot History: needs an imported Battle.net guild. Who can see loot history (along with Owned Items and Weekly Rewards), who can bring in RCLootCouncil exports and manage character aliases, and Sort responses.
- Wishlist priorities: rename the five priorities to the words your team already uses.
- Wishlist export: whether a downloaded wishlist sheet lists every raid drop a character's class can wear, even the ones nobody picked.
- Loot view defaults and Targetable loot: the sources, filters and bosses the loot views open on. The Loot guide walks through them.
Columns are the ones Loot History counts awards under: up to 8, with your own names and colours, starting as BiS, MS, OS and Other. Switch Rate on for the columns the rate card on the Overview counts, and give that rate a name. Sort responses puts each RCLootCouncil response under one of your columns or under Not distributed. Personal loot, bonus rolls and disenchants start in Not distributed, and a response nobody sorted counts in the Catch-all column.
Members with the View Loot History permission can always see Loot History. It's on for the Officer preset.
Droptimizer standards
The Droptimizer group sets the bar a sim has to clear before it counts for your group, so everyone's item comparisons are measured the same way.
- Raid item level targets: pick which difficulties need a sim and the item level members should be simming at for each one. Only the difficulties you switch on ask for a sim. QE Live scans accepted sets whether QE Live reports are read as the boss drops them or fully upgraded.
- M+ loot tracking: track end-of-run dungeon drops (Hero track) and Great Vault rewards (Myth track) from droptimizer reports, which also turns on the Dungeons tab. You can require a specific key level so sims from other key levels get flagged.
- Sim validation: a set of checks that reject cooked sims.
- Fight length keeps people from simming 30-second fights to inflate burst (300s is standard).
- Min iterations cuts the RNG noise you get from a low iteration count.
- Target count only accepts sims with exactly that many targets, and the wishlist reads that fight. Leave it off to keep 1-target and 2-target sims side by side; Default fight then picks which one the wishlist opens on.
- Upgrade equipped makes the sim baseline use fully-upgraded gear so gains reflect real upgrades.
- Require Vault Socket compares every eligible item with a socket so an extra socket doesn't skew the ranking.
- Require Patchwerk rejects sims run on a different fight style, since rankings only compare fairly on the same one.
- Require optimal buffs makes every sim share the same buff baseline.
- Block custom APL and Block Power Infusion reject sims that use a custom rotation or a PI buff, both of which can distort item values.
- Require nightly SimC asks for the Nightly (or Latest) SimC build in Raidbots, so upgrades include this week's hotfixes.
- Freshness: how many days a sim can age before it's flagged as outdated. The Baldio sim reminder and the You page use the same limit. Leave it blank and nothing is flagged here, while the reminder waits 14 days.
- Fresh sim at every difficulty: sim reminders ask for a fresh sim at each difficulty you set above. Off, one fresh raid sim at any of them is enough, so a raider with a new Mythic sim isn't pinged about an old Heroic one.
- Sim Lab (Experimental): keep every droptimizer a raider imports, not just one per difficulty, and open the Sim Lab lenses in Team.
- Auto-remove outdated sims: turn this on and sims past the freshness limit are removed for the whole team instead of just being flagged, so the Loot tab only ever shows current sims. Members re-import to get back on the sheet. If a member's readiness still relied on that old sim, they'll now show as having no sim at all rather than an old one.
Note Nicknames
A nickname lets a player show up in copied cooldown and assignment notes under a name they chose instead of their character name. You turn nicknames on per note type under General → Note Nicknames, and each player sets their own nickname on the Roster page (edit a member and fill in the Nickname field).
In-game, nicknames are handled by the Northern Sky Raid Tools (NSRT) addon: each player sets their own nickname in NSRT, and you can share a nickname list for the group to import so everyone matches. Export your list from the Import/Export menu at the top-right of the Roster page ("Export NSRT Nicknames") and have your raiders import it.
Everyone needs the same nickname set in NSRT
A nickname only fires reminders for players who've set that same nickname in their own NSRT. If someone is shown under a nickname they haven't set up in NSRT, their reminders won't fire, so make sure everyone imports your exported nickname list before you rely on this.
You can read more about how nicknames work in the NSRT addon description on CurseForge.
Tracking who changed what
The Audit Log tab records administrative changes across your group: who made them, what changed, and when. It's its own full guide: see Audit Log for what gets recorded and how long it's kept.
The Danger Zone
The Danger Zone holds the actions you can't undo. What you see there depends on whether you're the group's owner:
- Transfer Ownership (owner only): pick another member to become the new owner from a list, then confirm. This cannot be undone from your side once it's done.
- Delete Group (owner only): permanently deletes the group and all its data. Every member loses access, and this cannot be undone.
- Leave Group (everyone except the owner): removes you from the group. You'll need a new invite link to rejoin.
Every action here needs a confirmation
Transfer, delete, and leave all open a confirmation dialog before anything happens, so a stray click can't trigger one of these by accident. Read it before you confirm; none of the three can be reversed afterward.
