# Multisite setup

 * Hi there. I’ve read a couple of threads here about multisite but without answers.
 * Does it activate at network level or only per site, and if activated at network,
   then can it be overridden per site?
 * I want to use Amazon SES in a multisite with a default configuration that applies
   to all sites. But I would want to be able to override this for a given site if
   necessary. Currently I use Branda, but that doesn’t let me use the SES API, only
   SMTP.
 * Copilot tells me I need to activate Fluent per site, but that I can use SMTP 
   credentials that I would place in the wpconfig as a preset. And that these can
   then be optionally be overridden by per-site SMTP settings.
 * That would be ok. But can I instead preset API credentials? What if I activate
   Fluent at Network level or would that preclude me overriding it per site later
   on?
 * Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

 * Hello [@robaxxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robaxxx/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us! It is a pleasure to assist you with your configuration
   questions regarding FluentSMTP and your WordPress Multisite network.
 * To clarify how FluentSMTP functions in a multisite environment: at this time,
   our plugin is designed to be site-specific. This means that when you activate
   FluentSMTP, it operates independently for each individual site within your network.
   Because of this architecture, the plugin does not support a global “network-level”
   credential override that pushes settings down to all child sites automatically.
 * Regarding your specific goal of using Amazon SES: since each site manages its
   own settings, each sub-site will require its own configuration. When you activate
   FluentSMTP on a specific sub-site, you will be prompted to enter the credentials(
   API or SMTP) directly within that site’s dashboard.
 * To best assist you, could you please let us know which method you prefer to use
   for your Amazon SES connection: **API or SMTP?**
 * We look forward to hearing from you!
