On the Global Options tab, the Settings Category list lets you select options by category. The middle area of the window contains each global option in a categorized list and the default value assigned by a system administrator. The Overrides column is used by administrators to specify who (by user) may override the default value for an option. Administrators can also specifically disallow overrides for critical options or options that need to be handled in a specific way.
