Rave "preferences" vs. "configuration"

Users of Rave with administration rights have access to the "preferences"
section of the Admin panel. However, it seems that these preferences affect
all users of the application. Is this true? If so, would it make more sense
to call these something different, such as "configurations"?

To me, preferences sounds more like per-user options, whereas configuration
sounds more like app-level changes.

What do you folks think?

If that is the case (they affect all users) then yes, I'd say we change the
wording. Or maybe call it "Default Preferences"...
