# /members/\{member\}/groups/\{group\}/uris/documentconfig \[GET\]

## Description

This services returns the configuration files for a document type or media type related to a [group](../../reference/glossary/group.md).

It collects all the relevant files by prioritizing:

1. [Project template](../../reference/glossary/project_template.md) files in `/template/[project]`
2. [Global template](../../reference/glossary/global_template.md) files in`/template/[global]` (skipped if the project is the global template)
3. Default template in `/template/default`

## Xref configuration

The [xref-config.xml](../../guide/configuration/psml/psml_xref_config.md) is returned if found, in the following order:

1. `/template/[project]/config/xref-config.xml`
2. `/template/[global]/config/xref-config.xml`
3. `/template/default/config/xref-config.xml`

## PSML document types

For PSML, the other configs are:

- [document-config.xml](../../guide/configuration/psml/psml_document_config.md)
- [document-template.psml](../../guide/configuration/psml/psml_document_template.md)
- [editor-config.xml](../../guide/configuration/psml/psml_editor_config.md)

This service first tries to locate where the document is defined by looking for the corresponding folder based on document type, in the following defined order:

1. `/template/[project]/psml/[type]`
2. `/template/[global]/psml/[type]`
3. `/template/default/psml/[type]`
4. `/template/default/psml/default`

## Media types

For non PSML they are:

- `media-template.xml` 
- `editor-config.xml` 
- document labels from project configuration

This service first tries to locate where the document is defined by looking for the corresponding folder based on file extension, in the following defined order:

1. `/template/[project]/document/[extension]`
2. `/template/[global]/document/[extension]`
3. `/template/default/document/[extension]`

## Parameters

| Name | Description | Required | Type | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| documenttype | The document type for the config | no | string | `default` |
| extension | The file extension for the config (overrides documenttype) | no | string |  |

## Permission

This service requires guest or higher unless the group is public.
