Magento custom module config only shows up in main website config scope

Question

I have created a custom Magento module which all works fine when the config scope is set to Main Website.

However, If I switch the config scope to default config the config panel for my custom module disappears, I have no idea where this is specified in my config, which file is the scope of the module config set?

Main website:

Default config:

As you can see my custom config is missing on the deafult config scope.

Edit: Added system.xml

Can you update your question with your custom modules's system.xml file? — Mukesh

You are missing <show_in_default>1</show_in_default> for your sections in your code.

Try following it should work for you.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <tabs>
        <intilery translate="label" module="analytics">
            <label>Intilery Analytics</label>
            <sort_order>100</sort_order>
        </intilery>
    </tabs>

    <sections>
        <intilery translate="label" module="analytics">
            <label>Tracking Code</label>
            <tab>intilery</tab>
            <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
            <sort_order>100</sort_order>
            <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>   <!-- Add this to your code -->
            <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
            <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>

Magento custom module config only shows up in main website config scope
