Why? You can define default preferences for all users using the DEFAULT_USER_PREFERENCES config parameter. Beyond that, users control their own preferences.

You can define default preferences for all users using the [`DEFAULT_USER_PREFERENCES`](https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/configuration/dynamic-settings/#default_user_preferences) config parameter. Beyond that, users control their own preferences.

Because it works only for the first log-in and since I'm constantly improving our Netbox notably with custom fields that I need to be displayed in columns.
