# Site defaults

The Site defaults category allows you to configure default settings for various RAS components and services. At the time of this writing, you can configure Site defaults for the following:

* **Publishing** — See [**Site defaults (Publishing)**](/landing/ras-mp-guide/v19-en-us/publishing/manage-published-resources/site-defaults-publishing.md).
* **Gateways** — See [**Configure a Gateway**](/landing/ras-mp-guide/v19-en-us/infrastructure/gateways/configure-a-gateway.md).
* **RD Session Hosts and Host pools** — see [**Agent Settings**](/landing/ras-mp-guide/v19-en-us/infrastructure/rd-session-hosts/configure-an-rd-session-host/agent-settings.md).
* **Multi-factor Authentication** — see [**Multi-factor authentication**](/landing/ras-mp-guide/v19-en-us/site-settings/multi-factor-authentication.md).

When you add a component to a RAS Farm, or when you publish a resource, Site defaults are used so you don't have to enter the values manually every time. You can easily override the defaults with your own values if necessary.

To view Site defaults, click any of the available categories. To modify the default settings, click **Edit** in the Site defaults view.
