Creating user with SeSecurityPrivilege
Hi,
I notice that on Windows 7 the Administrator has SeSecurityPrivilege. I see this by starting a CMD prompt with Run As Administrator and typing:
I want to give another user (bkupuser1) the SeSecurityPrivilege.Code:whoami /all
First I added the user in the Backup Operators group, using
However when I started a CMD prompt as the user and didCode:lusrmgr.msc
I could see the privilege was not granted to the user. I tried:Code:whoami /all
but that did not work either.Code:gpupdate /force
I then started (Group Policy Editor):
this looked like what I wanted. It allowed me to add any number of special privileges to any user, and I did add SeSecurityPrivilege to the bkupuser1 - However, when I started a CMD prompt as the user and did:Code:gpedit.msc
I could see the privilege was not granted to the user. I triedCode:whoami /all
but still no joyCode:gpupdate /force
I rebooted, still no good.
I tried using another program rsop.msc but that was no good either.
This is a very serious problem, as I do not wish to give out the Administrator user account. It should be possible to create a regular user account and assign the appropriate privileges.
