Abstract
Changing user settings across applications and/or across devices via a dialog within one application is provided herein. The systems and methods discussed herein provide for an improved user experience and fewer computing resources to be expended when changing user settings by aggregating the changeable settings, allowing for their modification via a single dialog, and distributing settings changes to remote hosts, which in turn provide consistent settings across devices. The settings available to the user may be governed in association with the user's licenses to access programs and may be affected by domain level controls by an administrator.
