Configuring Local Groups
In a Windows security domain, users and groups exist to identify users (e.g.
jamesg
) and groups
of users (e.g.
software
) on the network. Apart from the user-defined network group names (e.g.
software
,
finance
,
test
, etc.), Windows also supports a number of built-in or “local” groups with
each providing various privileges and levels of access to the server on which they have been
configured.
These groups exist on every Windows computer, whatever domain they are in throughout the
world. They are not network groups, but are local to each computer. So, the user
jamesg
may be
granted Administrator privileges on one computer and not on another.
