Configuring a TOM

TOM Settings

TOMs have a number of configurable settings that are needed for various functions. Since the Toolkit is based on the Django framework most of these options are controlled via the settings.py file. You’ll find this is created for you when you initialize a new TOM:

mytom/
  | mytom/
      |- settings.py
  ...

The admin of the TOM can edit this file to set the parameters as desired. A full list of the configurable options is given here

Permissions

TOM systems can have hundreds or thousands of users and we recognize that sometimes it is desirable to control who can access what data or functions. The Toolkit provides fine-grained control over user permissions, as documented here.
