## 5.2. Unrestricted Configuration

Unrestricted configuration of a workspace can be performed at any time by anyone belonging to the `admin` group. It does not require that the workspace be locked down and does not impact users of the workspace. All changes in unrestricted configuration mode are made to objects in the Administration section.

Objects that can be configured in unrestricted configuration mode include the following:

- EKM Servers. Every EKM server contains one built-in job submission server named `Master`. You can also add cache servers to enable data caching. See Adding EKM Servers.

- External Applications. These are definitions for external applications that can be launched by EKM. External applications are defined within job submission queues. See Defining External Applications.

- Remote File Servers. These definitions enable users to connect to remote files and folders on any server type. See Defining a New Remote File Server.

- Shared Applications. This public folder contains the following pre-defined applications and job templates:

  - Batch

  - Interactive

  - CFX Batch

  - Electronics Batch

  - Fluent Batch

  - MAPDL Batch

  - Workbench Batch

  You can edit these applications and templates to suit your needs. See Modifying an EKM Application in the EKM User’s Guide.

  You can also create custom applications, job templates or process templates and save them in the /Administration/Shared Applications folder to make them accessible to other users.

  Refer to the following topics in the EKM User’s Guide for details:

  - Creating a Custom Application

  - Creating a Custom Job Template

  - Assigning Custom Dialog Resource Files to a Process Template

- Shared Queries. This is a public folder where users can save the following:

  - Search queries (see Saving a Search Query in the EKM User’s Guide)

  - Catalog views (see Saving a View in the EKM User’s Guide)

  Queries and catalog views can be subsequently executed or edited as needed.

- Users. Every user who will be accessing EKM must have a separate user account. See Adding and Modifying Users.

- Groups. Users can belong to specific groups that determine the types of actions users can perform. See Adding and Modifying Groups.
