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 and sub-account can manage all shared configurations.

Go to Shared Configuration：

1. Log in to the CDNetworks Console, find the security product in use under Subscribed Products.
2. Go to Security Part, Configurations > Shared Configurations.
