# Can I disable automated Location and/or Team chats?

Manage custom rules around system-managed chat groups

By default, Prospr automatically creates and manages Location-wide and Location/Team-specific chat groups based on each user’s profile details (their assigned Location(s) and Team(s)).

If these auto-generated groups don’t support your team’s workflows or aren’t needed, they can be turned off. Billing Administrators can manage this setting with the web browser under **Account** > **Advanced Settings > Automatic Chat Groups.**

> **Info:** This is an account-wide control, not something you can apply to _select_ Locations or Teams.
