1. A computing system, comprising:
- a user interface component;
a master settings configuration component that controls the user interface component to surface a settings configuration user input mechanism and to detect actuation of the settings configuration user input mechanism, which is indicative of a settings configuration input configuring a setting for a tenant that uses a plurality of different premises;
a metadata generation component that generates a set of premise-independent settings metadata, independent of the plurality of different premises on which the configured setting is to be deployed, based on the settings configuration input, and indicative of the configured setting; and
a settings output component that outputs the set of premise-independent settings metadata for access by each of the plurality of different premises.

Abstract
A settings management system in a remote server environment generates user interface displays with settings management user input mechanisms, and detects actuation of those user input mechanisms. Settings configuration metadata is generated, for a given setting, based upon the detected actuation. The settings metadata is output for access by a plurality of different, heterogeneous, computing environments, and the settings metadata is consistent across all of those environments.

10. A computing system, comprising:
-
a user interface component; a cloud-based settings management system that controls the user interface component to surface a settings management user input mechanism and to detect actuation of the settings management user input mechanism, which is indicative of a settings management input performing a management step on a setting for a tenant that uses a plurality of different premises; a cloud-based settings store that stores a set of cloud-mastered settings for the plurality of different premises, the cloud mastered settings being stored in a premise-independent form that is independent of the plurality of different premises in which the settings are applied for the tenant; and a settings output component that outputs the set of premise-independent settings metadata for access by each of the plurality of different premises. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
controlling a user interface component to surface a settings management user input mechanism; detecting actuation of the settings management user input mechanism, which is indicative of a settings management input performing a management step on a setting for a tenant that uses a plurality of different premises; storing a set of cloud-mastered settings for the plurality of different premises on a cloud-based data store, the cloud mastered settings being stored in a premise-independent form that is independent of the plurality of different premises in which the settings are applied for the tenant; and servicing settings retrieval requests, for the set of premise-independent settings metadata, by each of the plurality of different premises. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
