## Overview

Use this class to change configuration settings or the preferred networks list. To commit configuration changes, use [`commitConfiguration(_:authorization:)`](/documentation/CoreWLAN/CWInterface/commitConfiguration(_:authorization:)).

## Topics

### Configuring Preferred Networks

[`networkProfiles`](/documentation/CoreWLAN/CWMutableConfiguration/networkProfiles)

The preferred networks list.

### Configuring Settings

[`rememberJoinedNetworks`](/documentation/CoreWLAN/CWMutableConfiguration/rememberJoinedNetworks)

[`requireAdministratorForAssociation`](/documentation/CoreWLAN/CWMutableConfiguration/requireAdministratorForAssociation)

A Boolean value that determines whether to require an administrator password to change networks.

[`requireAdministratorForPower`](/documentation/CoreWLAN/CWMutableConfiguration/requireAdministratorForPower)

A Boolean value that determines whether to require an administrator password to change the interface power state.

[`requireAdministratorForIBSSMode`](/documentation/CoreWLAN/CWMutableConfiguration/requireAdministratorForIBSSMode)
