Setting up CostCapper

Setup takes two steps and a few minutes. Nothing changes until you finish, and every choice can be changed later on Settings.

Step 1: who and which machines

Who will use CostCapper: Simple for a small team (everyone at your email domain can use every machine), or Team if people sign in with Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra groups that map to teams.
Only machines with this tag (optional): leave it empty to manage any machine except CostCapper itself, or give a tag such as environment=dev. See Choosing which machines are managed.
Time zone, for working hours.

Every machine CostCapper can manage is ticked. Untick any it should leave alone. A ticked machine that is running outside its schedule with no request is stopped within 30 minutes; a database is stopped straight away.
Working hours keep the machines on, for example 08:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, and off the rest of the time. Untick it to keep them off until someone turns one on.
Simple asks for your email domain; Team asks for teams and the IdP groups that belong to them.

Set up email and sign-in on Settings so people can get sign-in links and notices. See People, sign-in and email.
To change everything at once, use Start over on Settings: it undoes setup and runs it again.
