+### PowerDNSAdmin basic settings
+
+PowerDNSAdmin has many features and settings available to be turned either off or on.
+In this docs those settings will be explain.
+To find the settings in the the dashboard go to settings>basic.
+
+allow_user_create_domain: This setting is used to allow users with the `user` role to create a domain, not possible by
+default.
+
+allow_user_remove_domain: Same as `allow_user_create_domain` but for removing a domain.
+
+allow_user_view_history: Allow a user with the role `user` to view and access the history.
+
+custom_history_header: This is a string type variable, when inputting an header name, if exists in the request it will
+be in the created_by column in the history, if empty or not mentioned will default to the api_key description. 
+
+site_name: This will be the site name.
