Interaction Between User Preferences and System Preferences #

System Preferences define default preferences for all users.

User Preferences define preferences for the currently logged in user.

When a User Preference and a System Preference affect the same setting, the User Preference over-rides the System Preference.

For details on System Preferences, see System Preferences.
