# Addon Settings

https://docs.wisecp.com/fr/addon-settings

Configure one add-on: switch it on or off, decide which administrators may open it, fill in its own settings and remove it when you no longer need it.

## Opening the Screen

Go to **Tools**, then **Addons**, and select **Settings** from the actions menu of a card. That entry is there only on free cards; on a paid add-on, click its name in the card heading instead. The name link opens the same screen on every card.

`{admin}/tools/addons/settings?module={addon}`

## What Is on the Screen

**Back to Addons** at the top returns you to the list. Under it sits the identity of the add-on: logo, name, version, a **Premium** mark for paid ones and the developer name.

On the right are the buttons that act on the whole add-on. **Delete** is always there. **Test Connection** appears only for add-ons that talk to an outside service. **Manage** appears only while the add-on is enabled and has a screen of its own; clicking it takes you there.

The rest of the screen belongs to the add-on itself, so it differs from one add-on to the next. Most use the standard layout: a **General Settings** tab holding **Status**, **Access Control** and the add-on's own settings, with a save button at the end. Some bring extra tabs or a page of their own. When an add-on offers no settings at all, a warning takes their place; that warning is written in English whatever your panel language is.

## Fields

- **Status**: The **Enable** box switches the add-on on and off. It reflects the state shown on the card in the list.
- **Access Control**: The administrator privilege groups that may open the management area of the add-on. Full Administrator always has access.
- **The add-on's own settings**: API keys, addresses, behaviour options and anything else the add-on needs. Which ones are required is stated on the field itself.
- **Type DELETE here**: The deletion window asks you to write **DELETE**. The delete button stays closed until the word matches.

## Tasks

### Save the settings

1. Fill in the fields of the add-on.
2. Select the privilege groups under **Access Control**.
3. Click the save button at the end of the form. The new values apply right away.

### Give an administrator access

1. Tick the group of that administrator under **Access Control**.
2. Save the form.
3. The add-on now appears for that group under **Tools** and **Addons**, and its management area opens.

### Test the connection

1. Enter the provider details and save the form first.
2. Click the **Test Connection** button at the top right.
3. The button reports **Connection Successful** or **Connection Failed**, and a failure carries the reason with it.

### Delete the add-on

1. Click the **Delete** button at the top right.
2. Write **DELETE** in the confirmation box.
3. Click **Delete Permanently**. The add-on is removed and you return to the list.

## Things to Watch

> **An empty Access Control closes the door**
> 
> With no group ticked, only Full Administrator reaches the management area of the add-on. Other administrators are sent back to the list, and the add-on stays out of their menu.

> **Deletion cannot be undone**
> 
> Deleting removes the add-on files, its settings and its database tables. To stop it for a while, clear the **Enable** box instead.

## Required Privileges

This screen and all of its actions need `TOOLS_ADDONS`. Saving, testing the connection and deleting use that same privilege.
