# Configure players

You can configure technical player settings to control things like automatic updates, logging, timeouts, or communication intervals between players and IXM One.

There are two ways to apply these settings depending on your setup:

- **Multiple players**: [Assign a configuration group to multiple players](/grassfish/docs/configure-players#assign-a-configuration-group-to-a-player) to apply its settings to all of them.
- **Single player**: [Create a player-specific configuration](/grassfish/docs/configure-players#assign-a-configuration-group) for an individual player.

## Assign a configuration group to multiple players

To assign a configuration group to a player, perform the following steps:

1. In IXM One, go to **Channels > Location**.
2. In the **Location** pane, select the location where the player is located.
3. In the **Managing players** pane, double-click on the player or select it and click **Edit**.
4. Under **Configuration**, select a configuration group from the dropdown menu.
5. Click **Save** to save your changes.

## Create a player-specific configuration

You can create a player-specific configuration based on an existing configuration group.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - The changes apply only to the player not to the configuration group. As an admin, you can [save the settings as a new configuration group](/grassfish/docs/work-with-configuration-groups).
> - A warning icon appears when the player configuration differs from the default configuration. This allows you to immediately see if a player has a custom configuration.
> - If needed, you can reset the player to the standard configuration group settings.

To create a player-specific configuration, perform the following steps:

1. In IXM One, go to **Channels > Location**.
2. In the **Location** pane, select the location in which the player is located.
3. Double-click on the player or select it and click **Edit**.
4. If there's no configuration group assigned to the player yet, select a configuration group from the dropdown menu **Configuration** and confirm this in the subsequent dialog.
5. Next to **Configuration**, click **Edit**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/configure-players-image-euzg0lo1.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T19%3A45%3A41Z&se=2026-11-06T20%3A45%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=cTO63Nif6z%2FPRUT7EuF1KCTEe%2B75Drq9RHjkfRa4Clo%3D)
6. In the subsequent dialog, click **Continue**.
7. Edit the configuration settings as required.
8. Click **Save** to save your changes.
