The `enableConfigurationOverride` attribute in the `<add>` element of the `<applicationpools>` collection is confusing and does not appear to correctly describe the purpose.

The description of that attribute states that When true, indicates that delegated settings in Web.config files will processed for applications within this application pool. When false, all settings in Web.config files will be ignored for this application pool.

In my, and apparently other people's, experience this seems to actually enable (when true), or block (when false) web.config inheritance from the parent folder. The description for false makes me think that it will prevent reading any web.config file at all, including the application's own web.config, but this does not seem to be true at all.

I appreciate any clarity that you can provide on this.

Thank you.
