Description

Type: Distributed Requires CredSSP: No

This resource is used to set the SharePoint Designer settings for the local farm or site collections. These settings will be used to control if users are allowed to make changes using SharePoint Designer. Note that this will not prevent users from installing SharePoint Designer, just from using SharePoint Designer to connect to the farm.

Settings can be applied against an entire web application, or a specific site collection. Use the "SettingsScope" property to set it to either "WebApplication" or "SiteCollection" to define which you are targetting.
