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 -
1. Open Run dialog box by pressing WIN + R
2. Type control userpasswords2 and press enter
3. Now User Accounts Window will show up.
4. Here click on YourName user and click on properties
5. In Properties Windows Click on Group Membership Tab
6. Now to provide different level of access to your user YourName click on other.
7. From the drop down box select any type of role you want to give your user YourName, you can grant him any role like Administrator, power User, User, guest, remote Desktop User, Replicator etc…
8. Once you are done click Apply.
9. Now you have successfully granted different role to your user.
10. That’s It!!!
Note: this trick will work on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
On a small note – The reason you may want to do that is to secure your computer and manage your User.
This is really helpful. All I knew was adding users from Cpanel but this will help many other users including me.
Ah!! Just like in my linux system!
