* `SocketPermissions` - comma-separated list of (octal) file system permissions for the socket file. The default permissions are 0600. If the number of socket permissions defined is less than the number of sockets defined, then the last defined permission will be used for the remainder of the items in `Socket`.
* `User` - a name of the user to run the service as. This impacts what UID, GID (and extra GIDs) the service processes have. By default, services are run as root.
* `WorkingDirectory` - the working directory in which the service is spawned. By default, services are spawned in the root (`"/"`) directory.
-* `BootModes` - a comma-separated list of boot modes the service should be enabled in. By default, services are only enabled in the "graphical" mode. The current boot mode is read from the kernel command line, and is assumed to be "graphical" if not specified there.
+* `BootModes` - a comma-separated list of boot modes the service should be enabled in. By default, services are only enabled in the "graphical" mode. The current system mode is read from the [kernel command line](../man7/boot_parameters.md#options), and is assumed to be "graphical" if not specified there.
* `Environment` - a space-separated list of "variable=value" pairs to set in the environment for the service.
* `MultiInstance` - whether multiple instances of the service can be running simultaneously.
* `AcceptSocketConnections` - whether SystemServer should accept connections on the socket, and spawn an instance of the service for each client connection.

This parameter defaults to **`off`**.
+* **`system_mode`** - This parameter is not interpreted by the Kernel, and is made available at `/proc/system_mode`. SystemServer uses it to select the set of services that should be started. Common values are:
