# Configuration {#configuration}

Configuring the extension has four parts, best done in this order:

1.  [Webservice](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/universal_messenger:configuration-webservice@main) -- store the Universal Messenger API
    credentials.
1.  [Extension configuration](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/universal_messenger:configuration-extension-configuration@main) -- set the storage page,
    the newsletter page type number, and other extension-wide defaults.
1.  [Backend user permissions](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/universal_messenger:configuration-backend-user@main) -- grant editors rights on
    individual newsletter channels.
1.  [TypoScript](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/universal_messenger:configuration-typoscript@main) -- include the rendering TypoScript
    and, optionally, the example newsletter template.
