Settings and Configuration of TYPO3 systems and sites

TYPO3 settings can be changed in the backend, depending on the logged-in user's role:

System-wide settings

Can be changed by System Maintainers in the Admin Tools module.

Site-specific settings

Can be changed by backend Administrators in the Site Settings and Site Configuration modules.

Page/content element settings

Can be changed by Editors with the correct permissions in Page properties and in the content element editor.

Settings are values that can be changed in the backend by users with the appropriate permissions whereas configuration refers to static parameters in files that can only be changed by developers and integrators.
