Hi Régis, thanks for your reply! How did you do it? Python script on session start? In my case, it would be OK if e.g. users have their individual GUI settings or spatial bookmarks but all connections in browser-panel and default CRS should reset to (globally maintained) default on closing QGIS. Do you have experience how to implement that?

I'm not sure we can ensure you in the long run that you will not face regressions sometimes. To adress your use case, I used to work with session startup script that cleared / reset user profiles on session close or session opening. The assumption was to let user free to change their profile settings but not for all settings (mandatory plugins for instance, default SRS..)

The goal is to have one read-only configuration that all users use. Generally works like a charm with starting QGIS 3.2 with --profiles-path pointing to a read-only dir. Users get the right settings, they still can play around but changes are discarded when quitting QGIS. Only problem is qgis.db, seems that QGIS necessarily needs write access to that file, otherwise it throws an error at start (but works with no problems subsequently). Is there any way to avoid that, e.g. starting qigs ‘silent’ or setting the path to qgis.db to a local user folder? Seems that qgis.db doesn’t contain any crucial configuration, though same bookmarks for all users would be nice to have. I’m aware of https://issues.qgis.org/issues/13732 and generally understand Nathan’s and Nyall’s point of view but still think it would make sense to ignore qgis.db for use cases like mine. Thanks for your ideas and help!
