    <summary type="html">Assuming you&amp;#39;re using preferences that is scoped to a user (i.e., owner type is user) then the behavior you&amp;#39;re describing is correct.  When user1, user2, &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; admin changes the preference, they&amp;#39;re only changing it for himself.  To achieve what you want, you&amp;#39;ll need to do some customization since  different users will have different expectation on this. You want the admin&amp;#39;s changes to override, but others might want the admin&amp;#39;s values to be defaults.</summary>

    <summary type="html">I have created a site called Test. Created two users and assigned memberships to this site. Created one page in Test site and made it customization for end user and gave view, update permissions. Configured three portlets as an admin in the page. &lt;br /&gt;Below are success and failure use cases&lt;br /&gt;1)Logged in as user 1, rearranged portlets - Success&lt;br /&gt;2)Logged in as user 2, rearranged portlets - Success&lt;br /&gt;3)User1 preferences not impacted User 2 preferences - Success&lt;br /&gt;4)User2 preferences not impacted User 1 preferences - Success&lt;br /&gt;5)When admin rearranged the portlets in the page, surprisingly end users (User1 and User2) preferences are not getting overridden. Ideally admin is the super user for the site and any changes he makes to the page (create/update/delete) it should overrride end user preferences, which is not happening.&lt;br /&gt;Want to understand if the way I am doing is wrong or product itself lack that feature or if there is a way to achieve please help.</summary>
