Shared Configuration is used for the convenient management of settings commonly used by multiple domain names, including rules, certain policy items, processing actions, etc. You only need to create a shared configuration once and associate it with the multiple domain names that need to use the configuration. Subsequent adjustments only require direct modification of the shared configuration, and can be updated to multiple domain names at once.

The following shared configurations are supported:

• Custom Rules
• Rate Limiting
• Whitelist
• Custom Bots
• WAF Rule Exceptions
• APP/API Exceptions
• Custom Action

Shared configuration refers to account-level configuration, where the primary account can manage all shared configurations, while sub-accounts can only manage their own shared configurations. By browsing the creator listed on the shared configuration rules list, you can determine which user created the rule.

Go to Shared Configuration：

1. Log in to the Cloud Security 2.0.
2. Go to  Cloud Security 2.0 > Security Settings > Shared Configuration。
