Understanding Internally Controlled Options
Internally controlled personalization options are different from the other personalization option categories. Although they're defined in the Define Personalizations component (PSUSEROPTNDEFINE), they never appear in My Preferences - General Settings, even if you assign them to a permission list.
Instead of accessing these options in My Preferences - General Settings, users access and configure them at other locations; the location depends on the individual option. These options are always enabled and can't be disabled, but you can specify their default settings in the Define Personalizations component.
