What is the purpose of a Global Configuration in MuleSoft?

A Global Configuration in MuleSoft serves the purpose of defining reusable settings for components across different flows within an application. When configurations are defined globally, it allows developers to centralize the management of settings such as connection information, credentials, or configuration parameters which can then be referenced by multiple flows. This promotes consistency across applications and encourages the reuse of configurations, making it easier to maintain and update applications without the need to duplicate settings in every flow.

In contrast, options that refer to gathering user feedback, providing error handling, or restricting API access represent different functionalities that are essential in application development but do not align with the specific role of a Global Configuration. While error handling can be configured globally within an application, it is separate from the concept of reusable settings.
