Configuring System Settings
Liferay PaaS or Self-hosted
System settings apply across instances, sites, or widgets. Settings made here apply across your entire environment. Some of these cannot be changed at lower scopes (for example, configuring antivirus) and some become defaults that can be overridden at lower scopes. See System Settings to learn more.
