Shared Configuration Folder

The shared configuration folder is used to control user preferences and to load collections automatically.

Note: When required, set the folder and file permissions on the Shared Configurations Folder as writable for those with admin permissions, and read-only for general users. This folder will control user preferences and collections. Restricting editable access will avoid users editing the files.
