I'd like that scripts runned by one user, use Millimeters as measurement unit, yet the same scripts but for another user - points.
Is it possible ?

yes, the script just has to check the user identity and then use the desired units. depending on your workflow, the script will check either user name or some other markers that identify the user under your particular setup.

Let me explain.

I'd like that the following should be local to each script and not global for all scripts:

app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;

app.documents.add();

Is it possible?

You can have startup scripts.

But Server version is more based on instances than users.

Sure, both users can run the scripts simultaneously

Sorry, it seems there is no button `Edit`, so my 2nd msg was just an update.
