Configuring Main Chat
Main Chat binds a project to a registered host and a project root folder on that host. To configure Main Chat:1
Select the project
Open Settings → Projects, select the organization, and choose the
project.
2
Open Main Chat settings
In the project edit form, find Main Chat and choose Configure Main Chat.
3
Choose an online host
Select the registered host that owns the project folder. The host must be
online to validate the path.
4
Enter the project root
Enter the absolute project root path on that host and save.
Project Chat
Project Chat does not need Remote Projects configuration. Every project has a control-plane Project Chat for project messages and Telegram voice transcripts. Use Main Chat settings only when you need host-bound Codex execution against a real project root on a registered host.Project Notification Settings
Remote Projects also contains each user’s Telegram notification preferences for the selected project. Project members can select projects from their organizations and manage their own notification preferences alongside the project administration controls. Project read-only users can select projects under Shared with me and edit only their own Telegram notification preferences for that project. They cannot rename the project, change project colour, configure Main Chat, manage readers, or delete the project. Task-only readers are not shown in project-level notification settings because they do not have project-level access. They can still receive personal issue-reader notifications when they are added to or removed from a specific issue. Project notification preferences are filters, not access grants. For example, if a project read-only user enables Task description changed, they still receive that notification only when the underlying issue event creates them as an eligible recipient. Normal issue updates currently target issue assignees and followers who are organization members. See Telegram for the full event matrix, defaults, and quiet-hours behaviour.Deleting a Project

Select the organization and locate the project you want to delete.
