# Platform variables

{% hint style="info" %}
Platform settings can only be edited by <mark style="color:purple;">**admins**</mark>

These settings are used by the backoffice for many configurations and most of them are not accessible to frontend websites.

**The setting can only be access by the theme if it has been authorized in the backoffice**

The syntax to access the value is `{{website.settings-KEY}}` (replace `KEY` by the key)

If the checkbox "frontend access" is not enabled, **no value will be returned**
