Re: Remove Users from Administrators Group
So this doesn't allow the user to operate as a power user? If the user is not selected to be part of the administrators group, are they only part of the RDP group?

This is controlled via the setting:
Manage Images - Edit Image Profiles - Edit - Users have administrative
access: Yes/No
imagemeta_rootaccess refers to the rootaccess column in the imagemeta table.
This only controls whether or not the users will be added to the
Administrators group.

Re: Remove Users from Administrators Group
Posted by Andy Kurth <an...@ncsu.edu>.
Correct. Users are always in the Users and Remote Desktop Users groups.
Users are by default also added to the Administrators group unless
administrative access is disabled. VCL does not do anything regarding
the Power Users group. There hasn't been a need AFAIK. More elaborate
Windows group management could be added. Please discuss if this would
be useful.
