# Use player configuration groups

> [!NOTE]
> ⚙️ For administrators

Use configuration groups to apply settings such as logging, timeouts, or automatic updates to multiple players simultaneously.

## Edition keys and default configuration groups

When you work with configuration groups, it's important to understand how edition keys work.

- These keys help differentiate between different player types.
- An edition key is assigned to each player and specifies which player type it is.
- When the player first logs onto the server, this edition key is transferred.
- You can specify a default configuration group such as Windows or Android for each edition key.

When you create a new player in IXM One, there are two possible scenarios for the handling of edition keys and default configuration groups.

**Scenario 1: You have not assigned a player configuration to the player during creation or before initialization**

In this scenario, the following outcomes are possible:

- There is a default player configuration group for the transmitted edition key that is assigned.
- There is no default player configuration group for the transmitted edition key, so no group is assigned.

**Scenario 2: You have assigned a player configuration to the player during creation or before initialization**

In this scenario, the following outcomes are possible:

- The submitted edition key matches the assigned player configuration group edition key. There's no change.
- The submitted edition key doesn't match the assigned player configuration group edition key:
  - The assigned player configuration is removed in IXM One.
  - There is a default player configuration group for the transmitted edition key that is assigned.
  - There is no default player configuration group for the transmitted edition key, so no group is assigned
