General Settings

This tab contains settings applicable regardless of the friend application:

Strict Linking

Prevents Consumer applications from creating links if the link type is not enabled in the scheme.
By default, Consumer applications have no restriction for creating links in this application. By enabling this setting, Consumer applications will be able to create links only if this application is able to create them on its own too; in other words, there must be a registered friend for accessing the remote artifact, the remote artifact container must be associated to the one using this scheme, and the link type must be enabled for the registered friend in this scheme.

Private Linking

Prevents displaying the title of OSLC links before users get authenticated with the remote application.
By default, the title and URL of a remote artifact are stored when an OSLC link is created. By enabling this setting, only the URL of the remote artifact is stored. The title will be displayed only when user gets authenticated with the remote application, to ensure such title is revealed only if user has the right permission.

Hide Global Configuration Feature

Prevents users from enabling Global Configuration on the projects using this scheme.
By default, users can enable Global Configuration (Configuration Management) on a project. By enabling this setting, the option to enable Global Configuration is hidden for the projects using this scheme. Note: this setting has no effect on projects that are GC-enabled already.
