 Portal Configuration
-====================
+********************
 
 There are many places in Kofa where portal parameters can be set or
 page descriptions can be added. These parameters are attributes of
 either dedicated configuration objects or of containers in the
-academics and applicants section. The latter have been described
-elsewehere. Here we explain the interfaces of the configuration
-section.

 Session Settings
-----------------
+================
 
+Session parameters are the attributes of session configuration
+objects. These parameters may vary between academic sessions.
+Particularly student fees, which often vary from one session to the
+next, can be configured here, if the portal has been customized
+accordingly, see :ref:`customization` below. The session
+configuration objects also serve to:
 
+- disable student payments for certain payment categories and
+  subgroups of students
+
+  See also `Disable Payment Groups
+  <https://kofa-demo.waeup.org/sources#collapseDisablePaymentGroups>`_
+  in the base package.
+
+- disable clearance by clearance officers for the selected session
+
+  If clearance is disabled, students can still fill and submit the
+  clearance form, but clearance officers can't process the clearance
+  requests afterwards. They can neither clear these students nor
+  reject their clearance request.
+
+- set the course registration deadline
+
+  If the course registration deadline is set, student can't register
+  courses unless they pay the late registration fee.
+
+Session configuration objects implement the following interface:
