Company ID
This ID represents your particular instance of the Control Center. Refer to this ID when setting up runners to connect to your console.

Auto Log Out after Idle
Set how many hours an administrator can be idle before being logged out automatically.
Company PIN
A Company PIN acts as an allow list for newly installed runners. When Company PIN is set, a runner must be installed with the /cc-copin flag and the correct PIN, or it will not connect to the Control Center.
PINs must contain 8–20 letters (A–Z, a–z) or digits (0–9). A Company PIN will be required to install runners in a future release.
See How to Set a Company PIN in Control Center.
IP Allowlist
Only the listed IP addresses or CIDR networks can register runners. Type an entry and click Add. Examples: 203.0.113.10, 203.0.113.0/24, 2001:db8::/32. A CIDR prefix applies to the whole network; /0 allows every address of that IP version. Leave the list empty to allow any IP.
