Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out for each pane in the System Preferences account, which settings are the same for *every* account that logs in (even root), and which settings are local to each account and can vary from account to account?

I know that it seems Energy Saver is system-wide, but Software Update is local to each account.

Thanks!

Displays (resolution only)
Energy Saver
Network
Startup Disk

So far those are the only ones I've come across.

You can tell which are system wide - because they require authentication.

Do you mean by this that it is global, or specific to each user? My experience is that only monitor position on my dual-monitor setup is retained between users. One user uses a lower resolution and lower number of colors, but when he logs out it resets to the "default" settings.
