Configuration (Site)
The Configuration page gives you access to your site's System and Site configuration settings. Additionally, you can view a breakdown of your server's properties in a number of areas including PHP, SQL, server environment, and other various components that determine how your site operates.
The Configuration requires an access.admin.super or access.admin.configuration && access.admin.configuration_site access level.
The Site tab enables you to customize the settings found in the /user/config/site.yaml file. This tab gives you access to options and fields that determine site-related variables, such as the name, default author, and metadata used in your site.
