Configuration for a settings store field, defining how it should be stored,
scoped, validated, and accessed.

```ts title="Signature"
interface SettingsStoreFieldConfig {
    name: string;
    scope?: SettingsStoreScopeFunction;
    readonly?: boolean;
    requiresPermission?:
        | Array<Permission | string>
        | Permission
        | string
        | {
              read?: Array<Permission | string> | Permission | string;
              write?: Array<Permission | string> | Permission | string;
          };
    validate?: (
        value: any,
        injector: Injector,
        ctx: RequestContext,
    ) => string | LocalizedString[] | void | Promise<string | LocalizedString[] | void>;
}
```

<div className="members-wrapper">

### name

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`string`}   />

The name of the field. This will be combined with the namespace
to create the full key (e.g., 'dashboard.theme').
### scope

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/settings-store/settings-store-scope-function#settingsstorescopefunction'>SettingsStoreScopeFunction</a>`}   />

Function that determines how this field should be scoped.
Defaults to global scoping (no isolation).
### readonly

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`boolean`} default={`false`}   />

Whether this field is readonly via the GraphQL API.
Readonly fields can still be modified programmatically via a service.
### requiresPermission

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`| Array<<a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/permission#permission'>Permission</a> | string>         | <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/permission#permission'>Permission</a>         | string         | {               read?: Array<<a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/permission#permission'>Permission</a> | string> | <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/permission#permission'>Permission</a> | string;               write?: Array<<a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/permission#permission'>Permission</a> | string> | <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/permission#permission'>Permission</a> | string;           }`}  since="3.5.0 - Added support for object with read/write properties"  />

Permissions required to access this field. If not specified,
basic authentication is required for admin API access.

Can be either:
- A single permission or array of permissions (applies to both read and write)
- An object with `read` and `write` properties for granular control

*Example*

```ts
// Single permission for both read and write
requiresPermission: Permission.UpdateSettings

// Separate read and write permissions
requiresPermission: {
  read: Permission.ReadSettings,
  write: Permission.UpdateSettings
}

// Using custom RwPermissionDefinition
requiresPermission: {
  read: dashboardSavedViews.Read,
  write: dashboardSavedViews.Write
}
```
### validate

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`(         value: any,         injector: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/injector#injector'>Injector</a>,         ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>,     ) => string | LocalizedString[] | void | Promise<string | LocalizedString[] | void>`}   />

Custom validation function for field values.
