For advanced information on the plugin system, check our wiki section for advanced users.
Introduction
The following panel allows you to access the settings of the active LimeSurvey plugins (they are located in the Plugin manager).

In the above screenshot, the "AuditLog" plugin is active and asks the survey administrator whether the survey logs should be audited or not.
Attention : Please note that certain providers limit the access to third-party plugins. For example, LimeSurvey GmbH provides Professional packages (quick access to LimeSurvey instances) without providing the necessary permissions to its users to install third-party plugins because of security concerns - e.g., the installation of an unsupported plugin may break down your LimeSurvey instance.
