This is still a work in progress, there are limitations. For example, it is not possible to merge an admin's settings with the user's ones -- a setting can only be overwritten. Hopefully I will address this limitation eventually, as time permit. (See https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/832#issuecomment-248138558).

The content of `adminSettings` is pretty straightforward: configure uBO as you wish for your users, then create a backup using the _"Backup to file"_ in the _Settings_ pane. Now open this backup file using a text editor, and remove all entries you do not want to overwrite, while taking care to end up with a valid JSON file (mind trailing commas, etc.). All the entries left are the ones which will be overwritten on the user's side.
