CommunitiesSettings

Represents community settings for an org. Enable digital experiences and workspaces. Manage moderation, guest user and partner settings, and more.

In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See Settings for details.

This type extends Metadata and inherits its fields.

CommunitiesSettings values are stored in the Communities.settings file in the settings folder. The .settings files are different from other named components, because there’s only one settings file for each settings component.
