This article explains each mission parameter and what they do in detail.

To edit the mission parameters in the MP lobby, make sure the mission isn't already running (e.g don't use -autoInit) and be logged in as admin. Refer to the FAQ answer for this.

Also the save/load of the parameters is explained in this illustrated example. So don't get distracted by the fact that the visible parameters in the MP lobby aren't having the values you've set to save earlier.
