| Option           | Description                                                                  |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Super User**   | Required to access the Accounts and Billing areas under Settings             |
| **Usage Alerts** | Receives billing volume and overage warning emails (not spam monitor alerts) |

## Google Sign-On Domains

Lists the domains permitted to sign in to your Host Console using Google authentication.

## API Keys

API keys are used to group and secure inbound filtering domains. A domain can be associated with a single key or left unpaired. Keys created here are assigned to domains in **Inbound > Domains**.

## Insights

Insights embeds a customized link in NDR bounce messages, giving your users a self-service way to report false positives without contacting support. The link leads to a page showing the reason for the rejection and a **Not Spam** button.

You can enable or disable Insights from **Settings > Account > Insights**, and set how long Insights links remain active before expiring.
