Dell and Rodney Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 People,How can i create a group such as an administrator or power user or even a limited account user? my aim is to create my own group so i can pick what goes on and who can do what and who cantcheers
aresgodofwar Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 administrative tools>computer management>local users and groups>right click on groups and left click on new group. boom your done.
Dell and Rodney Posted November 9, 2004 Author Posted November 9, 2004 Ok ive done that so what next? at the moment i have an empty group so how can i say what this group is allowed and not allowed to do?Thank you
aresgodofwar Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 local security policy inside administrative tools. have you tried the help function in XP? it is actually useful. moreso than previous versions. at least i think so.
Dell and Rodney Posted November 9, 2004 Author Posted November 9, 2004 Ok thats good aresgodofwar. Im in local security policy inside administrative tools and still dont understand what to do so further help would be excellent.Yes ive tried the help function in XP, personally i think its a maze as its taking me round and round - you understand it as you know what your doing.
brian873 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Hi Dell and Rodney The standard groups in xp are pretty good already.Can you tell me what you want to use the group for and I'll explain how to do it.hail hail
Dell and Rodney Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 Hello Brian873,Just for testing purposes i want to allow a set group to lets say allow to-1- Burn CDs using Nero (i know they (Nero) have their own little program however i prefer to create my own group)2- Not allow them to run messenger.3- Allow certain file extensions to be run.In general i want to get the idea of creating a group.Thanks for your help
brian873 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 i am going to try and run a few tests today with this. but i think Group Policy is the way to go.I'll post the results later.hail hail
