Customizing Manager Configuration Settings

When you modify this file, you can control whether users can add sections, assign page templates, modify site properties, and so on.

You edit a manager configuration settings file using the Site Assets pane:

1. In the Site Assets pane, choose the asset type Manager Configuration Settings.
