Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for creating and utilizing configuration providers for layered repository facilities. An embodiment operates by creating or loading a custom data structure for a software application, retrieving configuration information from at least one configuration provider, storing the retrieved configuration information in the custom data structure, and associating the custom data structure with the application and a specific layer of a layered repository facility. When this is done across multiple layers of the layered repository for the same software application, configurations can be efficiently managed for different users having different roles and relationships within an enterprise software environment, while maintaining a user experience that is flexible, extensible, dynamic, and yet consistent and familiar across many devices and platforms, even for users having multiple roles and different relationships within the enterprise software environment.
