fileUploadAllowed (boolean)

Defines whether the button "Select & upload file" should be rendered. This can be used for file fields to directly upload files and create a reference to the file.

By default this folder is fileadmin/user_upload but it can be changed in User TSconfig using options.defaultUploadFolder. See the TSconfig reference.

The button is shown by default unless this option is set to false.

fileByUrlAllowed (boolean)
Defines whether the button "Add media by URL" should be rendered. This button is used to include media URLs from e.g. Vimeo or YouTube. In addition to this, a valid online media identifier must be listed in the allowed list of elementBrowserAllowed.

This property can also be overridden by page TSconfig.
