I don't object in principle to having multiple phrasings of that
error message, but I do not see that "at the user level" is any
clearer than what we've got now. What's a "user level"?
Something along the line of "cannot be changed within individual
sessions" might work better, or maybe not. Let the bikeshedding
begin ...
