Every setting behind Configuration in the Historian, grouped the way the interface groups them.

1. [Administration](docId\:LQ4jqlnzrlMdYlmy8f2DN) covers the instance-wide settings: general, organizations, authentication providers and license.
2. [Organization settings](docId:290nIK7IpR6TL2J5pMVMH) covers the settings scoped to one organization: users, groups, privileges, validation, tasks, external databases and labels.
3. [Time series database](docId\:MZ6oC6Yl4p5DhHX2xCsC7) covers the databases the Historian writes to, and the data model it writes.
