# Deployment Settings

### General

The deployment settings are required to perform [Deployments](/release36/docs/deployments) (i.e. deploying reports or tasks from one instance to another instance.).

M&D SaaS Instances

For M&D SaaS Instances, the settings are managed by the M&D Team. If you need to add a Deployment profile, please contact support@mail-and-deploy.com.

### Managing Deployment Settings

To configure deployment settings you have to connect to the [Management Service](/release36/docs/services) of Mail & Deploy, click the *Settings* item in the main menu, and then click the *Deployment* tile. These deployment settings determine to which instance deployments from the current instance will be performed.

### Properties

You can set the following properties:

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Is Active | When enabled, content from the instance can be deployed to other instances. |
| Protocol | The protocol to use when connecting to the instance to deploy to. |
| Host | The host name or IP address of the instance to deploy to. |
| Port | The port of the endpoint of the instance to deploy to. |
| Access Key | An Admin or API user's Access Key from the instance to deploy to. For version 3.6.7 and higher. |

**Example:** You have to set these properties according to the [Server Settings](/release36/docs/server-settings) of the instance to deploy to.
