Local Users Accounts

User Accounts has a big deal with Windows Administrators.
As an Administrator, you use this to decide who Can Do What.
There are 3 important users who you should care about

1- Administrator 

The higher hand in your local Computer, the president of the United States of Your PC actually. He has all the permissions to do anything he wants to do

2- Power user 

Multiple permissions user with some restrictions

3- Users 

Normal user who can set and work n the computer but he cannot change or adjust any settings.


Now How can you put your user account or any of your family user accounts at one of these user categories?

Simply, we can do that by assigning the user to a group:

1- Go to Run Box  ( Win+R)

2- Type compmgmt.msc and press Enter

3- You should have this new window which is the Computer Management Window

 

4- From the Left Hand menu, Click on Local Users and Groups

5- Double Click on the Groups icon in the right hand side

 

 Now you are in the Core f the User accounts permissions management 

Lets say you have a user who is Larry and you want to make Larry an Administrator on this local machine, Here is the scenario

1- Double click on the Administrator group. that will open the Administrators Properties Windows

2- Press Add button

Now you can enter Larry user name in the object names box to add it to the Administrators Group. 

Simple and Easy. That is how things go on.

For the rest of groups you can do the same but note that you must be logical in your choices. For instance, There is no logic in adding Jimmy to the Users Group and then adding him to the Administrators group. You assign users to groups due to the security policy yu want to apply n that machine.
