# Specific settings
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
***Specific settings*** are used to override the properties of an entry. Several settings can be overridden, such as the credentials or the display mode. ***Specific settings*** are context sensitive and may not be available for certain entry types.
* ***User-specific settings*** override an entry's properties for a single user.
* ***Local specific settings*** override an entry's properties for all users.
***User-specific settings are*** only available when using an [advanced workspace](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/). ***User-specific settings*** are synchronized with both Devolutions Cloud and Devolutions Server, and can be edited directly from the web interface.
{% hint style="info" %}
To enable ***User-specific settings***, go to the ribbon of Remote Desktop Manager Windows and select ***Administration*** – ***System settings*** – ***Vault*** – ***Allow user-specific settings***. Note that ***Local-specific settings*** override ***User-specific settings*** when both are applied to the same entry.
{% endhint %}
The options are available in the ribbon. Select ***Edit*** – ***Setting overrides*** – ***User-specific settings*** or ***Local-specific settings***.
These can also be accessed by using the right-click on an entry and going to ***Edit*** – ***User/Local-specific settings***.

### Settings
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only available when using an [advanced workspace](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/). A setting on the workspace allows usage of User-specific settings. Contact your administrator if the menu is grayed out.
It must be enabled from the ribbon of Remote Desktop Manager macOS in***Administration – System settings – Vault*** ***- Allow user-specific settings.***
If both ***User-specific settings*** and ***Local-specific settings*** are defined on the same entry, Local-specific settings have the priority.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
