# Organization defaults

Organization admins can manage defaults from
[**Settings → Organization Defaults**](https://app.indent.com/settings/organization-defaults).

Defaults apply when Indent creates a session without a more specific selection.

## Default environment

Choose a published environment to use for:

- sessions created in the web app when the composer does not select another environment;
- Slack sessions without a channel automation environment;
- cron automation runs without an automation environment;
- sessions started from shared organization integration surfaces when the surface does not select an
  environment.

A selection made in the web composer or on an automation takes precedence over the organization
default. Select **No default** to clear the fallback. Without an applicable environment, Indent
starts the session without an environment.

The web composer remembers a person's last selection and selects the first available environment
when there is no organization default. To start without an environment from the web app, explicitly
clear the environment in the composer.

See [Setting up environments](/getting-started/environments) to create and publish an environment.

## Default model

Choose the model family used for a new session when the session or automation does not select a
specific model. A specific model selected in the composer or on an automation takes precedence.

The selector lists each family and the model it currently uses, such as **Sonnet 5** for **Sonnet**.
