Description of the Manager Configuration Settings File

A manager configuration settings file is read by the Manager application to determine the available editing options for the user (the site manager). The options include the ability to add and remove sections, assign page templates, and change section properties. As the designer of the site, you can enable and disable each option.

Here is a description of each setting in the manager configuration settings file when viewed in form view:
