It's quite akin to the lockdown features we have now. Only users marked
as system administrators can modify the settings, you can lock the
settings and will need an admin's password to be allowed to change the
settings (pops up a window asking for a password, sudo-ish, no root
password). Click on the lock again and nobody can modify the settings.
