Application settings API

These API calls allow you to read and modify GitLab instance application settings as they appear in /admin/application_settings/general. You must be an administrator to perform this action.

Application settings are subject to caching and may not immediately take effect. By default, GitLab caches application settings for 60 seconds. For information on how to control the application settings cache for an instance, see Application cache interval.
