I see these as one. Activities may have a custom level instead of the
default one. We already support this in balancebox but we could extend
the concept to others.

Anyway this is a splitted responsability between the activity and the
configuration. The activity provides a configuration editor and the
admin mode allows to edit and assign configurations to all the GCompris
of the classroom. We had a tentative design here:

In the Gtk+ version we had an API to let activity create their
configurations. Don't remember where it was saves, probably in the
sqlite database that could be shared.
