Proxy settings

[Jan]

I am setting up a proxy server for the network at our office. I have
noticed that there is a setting which allows you to set the proxy settings
per machine rather than per user.
Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >
Internet Explorer > Make Proxy setting per machine.
Could someone please tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages of
making proxy settings per machine rather than per user?
Many thanks
J

No matter who logs on, that setting will be there on all machines.
