admin timezone is defined by the user's system setting if the user is in new york, all dates/times in admin will show in their local new york time however, any updates to data (release date, custom dates, etc ) will be stored in the database as utc no matter what this is possible because admin runs off javascript, which is able to access the user's system settings and show them date/time in their local time front end current, and forever default timezone is utc always if the user is in new york, all dates/times front end will still show in utc this is because front end runs off liquid, which does not have access to the requesting user's system settings, so just runs off the default (utc) front end custom hardcoded timezone developers could hardcode a timezone in their date formatting scripts for example, {{this release date | to time "america/new york"}} docs to time docs timezone names front end custom user settings similar to 'hardcoded timezone', but instead of hardcoded timezone, developers could set up a custom field in their crm for timezone then when that user logs in it will format all dates to that user's selected timezone
