> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/infrastructure/rd-session-hosts/configure-an-rd-session-host/using-site-or-host-pool-defaults.md). # Using Site or host pool defaults RD Session Host properties are split into categories, which are displayed in the middle pane. Each category has its own set of properties. All categories, except **General** and **Scanning**, have one common link: **Site Defaults** or **Host pool Defaults**, which allows you to view default settings. If you want the properties in a particular category to inherit default settings, select the **Inherit Defaults** option. When you do this, the default settings will be inherited from one of the following: * **Host pool defaults** if the host is assigned to an RD Session Host host pool. Pools are described in **Grouping and Cloning RD Session Hosts**. * **Site defaults** if the host is not assigned to an RD Session Host host pool. Note that a host pool may also inherit Site defaults, but this can be overridden in the host pool properties dialog where you can specify custom settings for a host pool. Click the **Host pool Defaults** or **Site Defaults** link (whichever applies) to open the host pool or Site default properties pane. To modify default settings (if needed), click **Edit**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/infrastructure/rd-session-hosts/configure-an-rd-session-host/using-site-or-host-pool-defaults.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
