Description

Hi anlutro and thank you for this nice package. I wanted to ask if in a future release it could be possible to have shared and individual settings. As far as I see you can only have one of the two at the moment.

With shared I mean settings, that are the same for everyone. If you change the name of the website in a CMS, it gets changed for everyone. If you change the backend interface language you sometimes don't want other users to be affected.

Is this realizable?

Research direction
Examine the existing Settings class to understand how settings are stored and retrieved. Review the current implementation to see how global vs. user specific settings could be separated. Consider adding a method to specify setting scope (e.g., shareable or user specific) and modify the storage mechanism accordingly.
