Mortoj,

 

A dynamic parameter is one who's value is set on the serverside and by configuring a parameter as such protects against malicious persons amended it on the Clientside, ie parameter tampering.

 

A user input one is one which is allowed to be modified on the Clientside ie a login parameter taking a user's username.

 

Hope this helps,
