Thank you for the response, however I have run thru all of those options (minus the SP as that's not the scope of what I am trying to achieve in the Platform).
The issue with setting a System default is that is merely that..the default. The users can then can still see it, toggle it and deviate from the standard we want applied.
While we could put a Business Rule (this solution has previously been posed in the community) on the [sys_user_preferences] to abort any insert/update against records with a name matching one with system=true or specify a check against the value for the name field.
I think I should have added an image initially to set understanding of where I am looking and what the goal is. I mean that when users go to the Preferences item in their user drop down from the Platform UI itself. I picked one at random for "I'd like to hide this so they ONLY have the system setting specified".
I am also interested in adding a tab with our own settings we want too allow them to centrally manage in the same manner.
