The appconfig service allows the management of Platform 6 application configuration.

Configurations can be packaged into applications and it is recommended to mark them as readonly. Therefore the only way to define a custom value is by overriding the default value. Overrides will persist even when application are uninstalled.

To see the Configuration menu entry on the Portal, the appconfig=view permission is required.

Note

If you have the appconfig=* permission, you can have access to all the functions mentioned below.
