Introduction to system configuration modules


About

System configuration modules control the settings, behavior, appearance, integrations, and user experience across your Kaltura applications.

Modules are managed in the Configuration Management Console and are used to configure platform functionality such as:

  • Authentication and login flows
  • Navigation and branding
  • Landing pages and homepages
  • Registration experiences
  • Channels and playlists
  • User permissions and visibility
  • Media display behavior
  • Integrations and external services

Different applications use different sets of modules depending on the enabled features and products.

Access the Configuration Management Console

  1. Sign in to your Kaltura application as an administrator.
  2. Open the Configuration Management Console.

The URL format is: https://{your_site_url}/admin/config

The available modules display in the left navigation menu.

Each module contains configurable fields and settings that control a specific platform feature or workflow.

Most modules include:
