What is the purpose of a Global Property in MuleSoft?

The purpose of a Global Property in MuleSoft is to store variable values that can be reused across multiple flows. This capability allows for greater flexibility and maintainability in your application by enabling you to define values in one central location. These values can then be accessed from different components or flows throughout the application, promoting reusability and consistency.

Using Global Properties aids in managing configurations or parameters that may need to be referenced frequently or may change across different environments, such as development, testing, and production. This approach helps avoid hardcoding values in multiple places within the application's flows, which can lead to errors and increased maintenance overhead.

Each of the other options does not align with the primary functionality of Global Properties. For instance, while user roles, logging application events, and configuring server settings are important aspects of an application, they are not the primary functions of Global Properties. Instead, they typically involve separate configuration or management tools outside the context of what Global Properties are designed for.
