# BaseInternetAccount

Auto-generated config schema for the current JBrowse release — see the
[config guide](https://jbrowse.org/jb2-staging/docs/config_guide) for concepts. Built into JBrowse core.
[View source](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse-components/blob/main/packages/core/src/pluggableElementTypes/models/baseInternetAccountConfig.ts).

## Overview

the "base" internet account type

### BaseInternetAccount - Identifier

Every BaseInternetAccount has a unique `internetAccountId`, a required top-level
field that identifies it (not one of the config slots below).

## Config slots

`BaseInternetAccount` is a shared base schema, not a type you name in a config.
Set these slots on one of the configs under **Extended by** above, each of which
lists them as inherited and shows the shape in its own example. Slot types
(`fileLocation`, `frozen`, ...) are explained in the
[config slot types reference](https://jbrowse.org/jb2-staging/docs/config_guides/slot_types). Slots a base
configuration contributes are listed here too, so this table is the whole
surface.
