It is like a container which can store detailed informations concerning access to layers and that stores detailed information concerning layer access and enabled functions as well as values of workspace and page variablesvariable values.

A configuration has to configuration must be unique per device, per user/group, and per project. Note: only Only the project is mandatory, the device and user/group are optional and can remain empty!

When a client connects, the system searches the relevant configuration in the following order and selects the first matching configuration:

  1. step: by all its keys (as in Evaluation 1) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found. 
  2. step: by two keys (as in Evaluation 2) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
