iPart configuration allows you to:
■ Define how the iPart will behave
■ Control how much access you want end users to have
■ Hide configuration details from end users; two instances of the same iPart with different configurations can appear as two different controls to the end user
■ Examples:
□ Allow users to edit on a staff-facing site, but display the data in read-only mode on a public-facing site
□ Use multiple instances of an iPart on one page to access different sets of data
