# Page properties: settings at page level {#config-page-properties}

If the user has the correct permissions, settings for a page (and in some
cases all subpages) can be made in the page properties:

Some plugins also come with settings, refer to the manual of the extension
providing the plugin.

Technically the page properties are the same as the form displaying the page

The concrete settings available in the page properties depend on the chosen
[Page types](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:page-types-intro@main),
represented by database field `doktype`.
