9.2. User and System Settings
dconf allows system administrators and users several levels of control over configuration.
- Administrators can define default settings that apply to all users.
- Users can override the defaults with their own settings.
- Optionally, administrators can also lock settings to prevent users from overriding them. For more information, see Section 9.5.1, “Locking Down Specific Settings”.
