Configuring the Scope of the PowerCLI Settings

Scoped configuration enhances system security and prevents nonadministrator users from introducing global changes to the configuration of PowerCLI.

For greater control over the PowerCLI configuration, the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet provides the Scope parameter.
