Windows 2008 and Windows 7 Default Local Groups
Did you know:
- The Power Users group has no default rights, is present for backward compatibility and has no more rights than the Users group. A security template must be applied to enact its legacy role.
- Members of the Users group cannot share folders or create local printers.
While user rights can be configured through Group Policy it is still easier and more transparent to apply through security groups.
| Administrators | Unrestricted access |
| Backup Operators | Override file and folder access to backup and restore data. |
| Cryptographic Operators | Windows need to be deployed in Common Criteria Mode |
