If they are system-wide settings, then you use the administrator
account, and they will also apply to the limited user. If they are
user-specific, then you log on as the user. If you are trying to do
some kind of oddball combination of settings, you could temporarily give
that user administrative permissions, sign on as the user, make the
changes, and then change the permissions back to limited.
