Control Panels#
Control panels in Plone allow you to configure the global site setup of a Plone site.
The @controlpanels endpoint in plone.restapi allows you to list all existing control panels in a Plone site, and to retrieve or edit the settings of a specific control panel.
Most of the settings in the Plone control panels are based on plone.registry since Plone 5.x.
Therefore, you can also use the @registry endpoint to retrieve or manipulate site settings.
The @controlpanels endpoint is a more convenient way of accessing the settings, and makes it
easier to render control panels on the front-end.
Note
The @controlpanels endpoint is implemented for Plone 5 or greater.
Listing Control Panels#
A list of all existing control panels in the portal can be retrieved by sending a GET request to the @controlpanels endpoint:

Control Panels not based on plone.registry#
Control panels which are not based on plone.registry have a custom @controlpanels/:panel endpoint implementation.
Dexterity Types#
@controlpanels/dexterity-types is a custom control panel endpoint that will allow you to add, remove, and configure available Types.
Reading or writing Dexterity content types require the plone.schemaeditor.ManageSchemata permission.
