Plugin Preference
Using this wiki plugin, introduced in Tiki21, allows you to build your own administration panels.
It is a way to delegate permission to set only certain preferences to non-administrators.
So we could create limited admin panels with just what people need, without giving tiki_p_admin permission by only specifying which preferences will be included in the wiki page.

Once the page is saved, the preference appears there as it would appear in the control panel, so it can be modified.
Some preferences

{preference name="feature_webdav,fgal_elfinder_feature,feature_docs,fgal_pdfjs_feature,h5p_save_content_frequency" currentpage="My-Wiki-Page"}

After changing the values of the name parameter and registering the wiki page (here named My admin panel) by a non-administrator, he will see this:
Wiki page
When the plugin loads, it makes sure that the current page matches the current wiki page's parameter value, which prevents someone from using an approved plugin on another page with different permissions.
