Is it possible to export & share Flarum settings between sites/people?

FlarumQuestion

For testing purposes, I am messing with my own Flarum setup. I wanted to ask if it's even possible to export all Admin site settings so that I could import them into mine and go from there. Would save me a lot of time. Here is a photo of the settings I am referring to: https://i.imgur.com/bw6y8L8.png

Could I somehow have those exported from one site and import them into mine? Features & Permissions. The particular site I'd like these settings from is openly hosting the site on GitHub, so it's all exposed, if that helps, but I can't seem to find mentions of "Permissions" or "Features" like I am looking for.

Settings and permissions work differently.

Permissions are the least flexible. They are stored in the database and there's no built-in way to change that. You would have to create your own system to synchronise it. If the new forum has nothing in it, you could copy all the database rows from the permissions table into the same table of the new forum. But merging permissions between multiple forums would require some care, as "admin" is denoted by not having any entry.

Settings are also stored in the database by default but Flarum provides a SettingsRepositoryInterface that you can use through the Flarum extension API to extend or completely override the default storage method.

This extension https://discuss.flarum.org/d/23977-packaged-local-extenders provides a local extender that you can place in your root extend.php to override specific values. This is useful if your forum skeleton is versioned.

It's probably not a good idea to completely replace the settings repository with an hard-coded one because some extensions use settings for purposes that require it to be writable, for example my Sudo Mode extension generates a temporary global secret token and stores it in the settings repository.

clarkwinkelmann So where is the permissions table located if the whole forum is posted on GitHub?

And actually, it looks like Features can be found at composer.json?
