Setting the Global Preferences

Global Preferences items are used to configure your user interface. If you are logged in as an Administrator, you can set Global Preferences for all users by selecting All Users from the Show Preferences for the drop-down list.

While setting preferences for All Users, you may restrict the ability of non-Administrators to change a Global Preference item by deselecting the Is Editable checkbox. If a preference item is defined as not editable, a user who is not an Administrator will inherit the value of the preference item that his Administrator has set for him and he will not have the ability to change it for himself.
