Source Goetz Wohlberg / Dirk Grobler Category Administration Product Requirement It must be possible to prevent centrally configured settings against overwriting by settings of users or settings stored inside a document. Customer Need/Problem An administrator should be able to enforce specific settings. In that case it should not be possible to override the central configuration settings locally. Comment - Eng Effort - Eng Owner Mathias Bauer Product Concept Enforced settings fixed by an administrator can not be overruled by a configuration setting stored in a document. In this case applications also ignore settings stored with documents. Functional Specification -
added keyword Q-PCD

Dirk, we already implemented a lot of things to support "final" configuration properties in code an UI. As you are named as "source" of the issue: who will decide when it's "enough"? The PCD item is not very clear about the necessary amount of support, OTOH it's clear that we will not support *all* configuration items in "Q".
Hi Mathias, What is the current coverage? Can I find somewhere a list? The general approach was to say, a property should be finalized at the moment, when it is relevant for administration. I have only a very general list for defining the relevance: + settings which deal with security + settings which deal with lockdown + settings which reference resources, like hosts, ports, URLs, paths etc. + settings which are used to define the corporate identity, like fonts or colors As I don't know, what new settings have been or will be introduced at this stage, it is difficult to provide a definite answer. Mid/End July JB and Falko will go over the newly added settings and will define, which settings are relevant for admins. This should be then a final list. This process seems to be less than ideal. From my perspective the GUI should be generic in that way, that every setting that is readonly, could be displayed as such. This should be a goal for OOo 3.0. - Dirk
I agree that a list built from ground up should be a goal for the next version. For "Q" the current state is accepted as it is.
