A capability is a feature of an agent. A capability can be:
Capabilities can be defined specifically for an agent, or they can be shared between either all local agents or all remote agents. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability overrides the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists). See Configuring Capabilities for more information.

The instructions on this page do not describe how to rename a capability. If you want to rename a capability, see Renaming a Capability. |
