# Unit variables

Settings are key / value defined at **unit** level. All websites linked to this specific unit will have access to it.

If instead you need a variable for the whole platform, please have a look at **Platform Variables**

{% content-ref url="platform-variables" %}
[platform-variables](https://galaxy-cms.gitbook.io/project/cms/configuration-variables/platform-variables)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Where to edit in the backoffice?

{% hint style="warning" %}
These settings can only be defined in the backoffice by **admins**.
{% endhint %}

1. Open the **Bento Menu**
2. Go to **Admin** section
3. In the **sidebar**, click on "**Unit**". In the list choose your unit
4. Go to the tab **Settings**

### Syntax to access in the code

Syntax example `{{website.unit.settings-KEY}}` and replace `KEY` by the key

In the screenshot above we would have this

```html
{{website.unit.settings-MY_KEY}} // value
```
