| 8 | +This page describes the default configuration settings applied to Weaviate Cloud clusters. These settings control various aspects of your cluster's behavior, including database limits, authentication, backups, and usage metrics. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +The majority of these settings are configured via environment variables. For more details on each environment variable, refer to the [environment variable pages](/deploy/configuration/env-vars) in the [Deployment section](/deploy) of our documentation. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Weaviate Database settings |

| 23 | +| `CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN` | Yes | https://console.weaviate.cloud | Yes (to allow any) | |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## User management & permissions |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +These settings control authentication and authorization for your cluster. These settings are not user configurable. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +| Setting | Default value | |
| 30 | +| --- | --- | |
| 31 | +| [`AUTHORIZATION_RBAC_ENABLED`](/deploy/configuration/env-vars/index.md#AUTHORIZATION_RBAC_ENABLED) | true | |
| 32 | +| [`AUTHENTICATION_DB_USERS_ENABLED`](/deploy/configuration/env-vars/index.md#AUTHENTICATION_DB_USERS_ENABLED) | true | |
| 33 | +| [`AUTHENTICATION_OIDC_ENABLED`](/deploy/configuration/env-vars/index.md#AUTHENTICATION_OIDC_ENABLED) | true | |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +For more information on authentication and authorization, see: |
| 36 | +- [Authentication](/cloud/manage-clusters/authentication) |
| 37 | +- [Authorization](/cloud/manage-clusters/authorization) |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Backups |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Each Weaviate Cloud instance is automatically backed up daily by default. Additional backups can be triggered manually via the API. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Backups are retained per the applicable backup retention period of that cluster, such as 7 days for Flex Shared Cloud clusters. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +To restore a backup, [contact Weaviate Cloud support](https://console.weaviate.cloud/support). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Query settings |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +These settings control default query behavior. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +| Setting | Default value | |
| 52 | +| --- | --- | |
| 53 | +| [`QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT`](/deploy/configuration/env-vars/index.md#QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT) | 10 | |
| 54 | +| [`QUERY_MAXIMUM_RESULTS`](/deploy/configuration/env-vars/index.md#QUERY_MAXIMUM_RESULTS) | 100000 | |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## Modules |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Weaviate Cloud clusters do not have a default vectorizer module configured. As a result, you must specify a vectorizer integration when creating collections, or import your own vectors. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +To view the list of enabled modules on your cluster, see [Cluster Status: Enabled Modules](/cloud/manage-clusters/status#enabled-modules). |
