Settings for security behaviors
The Application Profiles tab allows you to set appropriate security behaviors for your web applications.
Before configuring, ensure that the correct site is selected via the dropdown list at the upper right.
To add an entry to the list, click on the "+" button. To delete an entry, click on the "Remove" link next to its name.
As shown in the above screenshot, the default (“/”) profile will always be present. It applies to the entire site, except for those parts of the site that have specific profiles assigned to them.
Here are the fields for each Application Profile.
If you'd like to clear cache on one of your websites on the platform, you can click the "Purge" button. Usually, the action takes around 5 minutes.
