# Managing Member Availability

As an administrator, you can manage your team members' availability settings in Distro. This is particularly useful when:

* A team member hasn't configured their availability yet
* You need to verify a team member's current settings
* You want to make quick adjustments to someone's schedule
* A team member needs help setting their timezone correctly

## How to Access Member Settings

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **Settings** in the main sidebar
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click on **Members** to view your team
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Find the team member you want to manage
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the more options icon (⋮) on the right side of their row

Select **Manage User Preferences** from the dropdown menu
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Managing Availability

Once in the user preferences panel, you can:

### Set Working Hours

* Choose which days of the week the member is available
* Set specific time slots for each working day
* Add multiple time slots per day if needed (e.g., morning and afternoon blocks)

### Configure Time Zone

* Select the appropriate timezone for the team member
* This ensures accurate scheduling across different regions
* Helps prevent scheduling conflicts for global teams
