The only thing you as administrator can do is once a user did monitor
calibration, to copy the profile. The root / library/colorsync/profile
folder as where
all users have the read access.
They're right, that's how you'd do it.
Regarding the 'UNIX user right' philosophy.
So what you want is to prevent users from creating profiles, and leave
that right to the system administrator only. Like I said there's
already sort of a workaround for that, by disallowing users from making
any changes to system prefs, and by logging in as root when you do the
calibration which will set the root user's display profile for all
users who haven't chosen a profile. If you want a checkbox that would
enforce this profile for all users no matter what, even if they've
already chosen a profile prior to this, well that gets into a whole
discussion of whether it's a user priviledge or an admin only
priviledge. Currently it's a user priviledge, and I doubt that will
change. I think it's reasonable to assume a level of at least
competency on the part of users with the normal limitation settings.
For environments in which users are less than competent...or even
malicious (schools)...there's a whole slew of limitations you can put
on users in the Accounts system prefs. They're actually pretty useful.
