Thank you for your helpful thoughts.
How would I differentiate the access to these two different option
sets? On a private computer where the user usually is logged in as an
admin I would have to offer both option sets. In a school, depending
on the log-in the appropriate options. But I never have seen a chance
in LiveCode to ask for the user privileges (on Win and Mac) to be able
to differentiate it. How is this usually be done?
The easiest way would be to check whether the current user is *able* to
write to the "system" configuration file. If they can, then show the
administration options. Otherwise, show a message saying that they need
to re-run the program "as administrator".
Alternatively, you could use "open elevated process".

I'm not actually sure what is the "right" to implement this pattern in
LiveCode, so I would be very interested to hear about your solution...
