# Overriding Settings for a Specific Team Portal

The global administrator can override the global team portal settings for a specific team portal. The team administrator can also override the settings, described in [Configuring Virtual Portal Settings](/v1/docs/configuring-team-portal-settings-5-1).

1. Open the portal drop-down list in the top bar.
2. Select the team portal you want to manage. You can start typing the name of the portal in the drop-down to filter the names displayed in the drop-down.
