How can the 'override existing user's settings' option be described?

The 'override existing user’s settings' option is best described by its ability to replace the current dashboard for a role with a new dashboard. When this option is selected, any personalized settings or layouts that users have configured on their dashboards are overridden by the new dashboard configuration. This setting is particularly useful for administrators who wish to standardize the dashboard experience across all users assigned to a specific role, ensuring that everyone is viewing the same information and using the same tools, thereby promoting consistency in reporting and analysis within the organization.

In contrast, maintaining current user settings on the dashboard would imply that user preferences remain unchanged, which is not the case when the override option is engaged. Modifying only the view settings for all users would suggest that certain elements can be adjusted without a complete replacement, which does not capture the essence of the override functionality. Lastly, allowing modifications based on user preferences indicates that users can retain some control over their settings, which contradicts the purpose of the override option.
