##  Description  Â¶

Specifies the configuration data for a registered CloudFormation extension, in
the given account and Region.

To view the current configuration data for an extension, refer to the `
ConfigurationSchema  ` element of [ DescribeType
](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeType.html)
. For more information, see [ Configuring extensions at the account level

###  Warning

Itâs strongly recommended that you use dynamic references to restrict
sensitive configuration definitions, such as third-party credentials. For more
details on dynamic references, see [ Using dynamic references to specify
template values ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/) in the _CloudFormation User
Guide_ .
