Configuration Directories

When running, the App Server will access the server's settings and read or modify the contents of its resource storage. All of this data is stored within a hierarchy of folders which correspond to scopes:

• Product: The contents of this folder are not meant to be modified, but used as defaults for a product.
• Site: The contents of this folder are intended to be shared across multiple App Server instances, perhaps on a network drive.
• Instance: This folder represents the broadest scope of data within the given App Server instance.
• Group: Multiple users can be associated into one group, so that settings are shared among them.
• User: When authenticated, users have their own settings and storage for the Apps that they use.

These directories dictate where the Configuration Dataservice will store content. For more information, see the Configuration Dataservice documentation
