Configuration defines the structural components that are assembled into a final output. Configuration is done in the platform independent user interface using a browser or through REST API calls from an external client. This topic focuses on configuration through the user interface. Refer to the service’s swagger document for information on using the REST API.

Configuration access is controlled by authentication and fine-grained authorization control as outlined in the Security Management and Entitlements Management sections.
