We know how to grant roles to different user, but most often we provide only 2 roles which are either Standard User or an Administrator. But there are more roles that we can assign to our users. In this tutorial I will shoe you how you can assign different roles to your users.

To start with let say there are 3 Users on your Windows 7 Computer – Administrator, YourName and Guest. And you want to assign different role to User YourName.

For assigning role you must first login in your Administrator account. Now follow the below steps -

    This is really helpful. All I knew was adding users from Cpanel but this will help many other users including me.
