Priority of Settings Scopes in PowerCLI

PowerCLI loads the program configuration based on the scope that you select for each setting.

Table 1. Scope Impact on the Behavior of PowerCLI

Scope	Priority	Impact
Session	High	When started, PowerCLI tries to load settings with the Session scope first. Session settings override User and AllUsers settings. Session settings are valid for the current PowerCLI session only.
User	Medium	When PowerCLI cannot detect Session settings, the program tries to load User settings from the PowerCLI configuration files. User settings override AllUsers settings. User settings are automatically detected from the PowerCLI configuration files.
AllUsers	Low	When PowerCLI cannot detect Session and User settings, the program loads AllUsers settings. AllUsers settings do not override Session and User settings. AllUsers settings are automatically detected from the PowerCLI configuration files.
