- User account has administrator rights
- Posted by Howard - JC Publishing on November 25th, 2005
The issue is on just one of the computers, access to certain functions that
should be reserved to administrator is allowed when logged in as the user. I
checked everything I can think of and cannot find what is allow this. If I
log in as the same user on a different machine, the user access is normal.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

On the machine in question, remove that user's account from the local
Administrators group.

Howard,
I ran into this on a clients machine. They (the client) had orignally had
the user account as an admin acct when they set up the system. They
installed a bunch of stuff, then added another user account and changed the
first user account (w/ admin priv) to restricted.
They too, indicated that they appeared to have admin access on this 'user'
account. The reason was: they were the 'owner' of those files and therefore
'appeared' to have admin priv when a 'restricted' user.
