Thanks so much Alessandro! Having read some documentation: https://connect.boundlessgeo.com/docs/desktop/1.1.0/system_admins/globalsettings.html I am sure that this will be a cool new feature in QGIS 3 that will be very much appreciated by organisations!!!
Thanks again for the hint!

See: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/app/main.cpp#L131 and: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/app/main.cpp#L831 the global settings format is exactly the same of the user settings file: INI. Hope this helps.

That will be a great improvement, esp. from a sys-admin perspective! In this consolidation context I was wondering I would be possible to prepare for: - Use of relative path (https://issues.qgis.org/issues/12623) - Usage of variables in the ini file I have been earlier thinking about “versioning” of ini files, so that updates (e.g. changes in OWS URLs) can be passed to all users as a sort of “diff/merge” without damaging individual adjustments they might have made. Background is that the Norwegian mapping authority provides a “Service feed” (https://register.geonorge.no/register/tjenestevarsler) where all OWS changes are announced… I would love to be able to just apply those changes to all our users… No idea if such a thing could be fostered by the way settings are stored in the ini files?
