<p class="MsoNormal">I think the guidelines for software generally assumes that user profiles should be in editable location. I'm not sure we can ensure you in the long run that you will not face regressions sometimes.

<p class="MsoNormal">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..)<o:p></o:p></p>

 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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
