The differences between rights, permissions, and privileges can be confusing and contradictory, even within documentation from Microsoft. This section describes some of the characteristics of each as they are used in this document. These descriptions should not be considered authoritative for other Microsoft documentation, because it may use these terms differently. Rights and privileges are effectively the same system-wide capabilities that are granted to security principals such as users, services, computers, or groups.
In interfaces typically used by IT professionals, these are usually referred to as "rights" or "user rights," and they are often assigned by Group Policy Objects. The following screenshot shows some of the most common user rights that can be assigned to security principals it represents the Default Domain Controllers GPO in a Windows Server domain.
Some of these rights apply to Active Directory, such as the Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation user right, while other rights apply to the Windows operating system, such as Change the system time. In interfaces such as the Group Policy Object Editor, all of these assignable capabilities are referred to broadly as user rights. In reality however, some user rights are programmatically referred to as rights, while others are programmatically referred to as privileges.
Table B User Rights and Privileges provides some of the most common assignable user rights and their programmatic constants. Although Group Policy and other interfaces refer to all of these as user rights, some are programmatically identified as rights, while others are defined as privileges.
For more information about each of the user rights listed in the following table, use the links in the table or see Threats and Countermeasures Guide: User Rights in the Threats and Vulnerabilities Mitigation guide for Windows Server R2 on the Microsoft TechNet site.
As of the writing of this document, corresponding documentation for Windows Server is not yet published. For the purposes of this document, the terms "rights" and "user rights" are used to identify rights and privileges unless otherwise specified. Permissions are access controls that are applied to securable objects such as the file system, registry, service, and Active Directory objects.
Each securable object has an associated access control list ACL , which contains access control entries ACEs that grant or deny security principals users, services, computers, or groups the ability to perform various operations on the object. For example, the ACLs for many objects in Active Directory contain ACEs that allow Authenticated Users to read general information about the objects, but do not grant them the ability to read sensitive information or to change the objects.
With the exception of each domain's built-in Guest account, every security principal that logs on and is authenticated by a domain controller in an Active Directory forest or a trusted forest has the Authenticated Users Security Identifier SID added to its access token by default.
Therefore, whether a user, service, or computer account attempts to read general properties on user objects in a domain, the read operation is successful. If a security principal attempts to access an object for which no ACEs are defined and that contain a SID that is present in the principal's access token, the principal cannot access the object. Within this document, permissions refers to capabilities that are granted or denied to security principals on securable objects.
Whenever there is a conflict between a user right and a permission, the user right generally takes precedence. For example, if an object in Active Directory has been configured with an ACL that denies Administrators all read and write access to an object, a user who is a member of the domain's Administrators group will be unable to view much information about the object.
However, because the Administrators group is granted the user right "Take ownership of files or other objects," the user can simply take ownership of the object in question, then rewrite the object's ACL to grant Administrators full control of the object.
It is for this reason that this document encourages you to avoid using powerful accounts and groups for day-to-day administration, rather than trying to restrict the capabilities of the accounts and groups. It is not effectively possible to stop a determined user who has access to powerful credentials from using those credentials to gain access to any securable resource. Active Directory is intended to facilitate delegation of administration and the principle of least privilege in assigning rights and permissions.
Users who require additional privilege can be granted membership in various privileged groups that are built into the directory so that they may perform specific tasks related to their roles, but cannot perform tasks that are not relevant to their duties.
A fourth group, the Schema Admins SA group, has privileges that, if abused, can damage or destroy an entire Active Directory forest, but this group is more restricted in its capabilities than the EA, DA, and BA groups. In addition to these four groups, there are a number of additional built-in and default accounts and groups in Active Directory, each of which is granted rights and permissions that allow specific administrative tasks to be performed.
Although this appendix does not provide a thorough discussion of every built-in or default group in Active Directory, it does provide a table of the groups and accounts that you're most likely to see in your installations. For example, if you install Microsoft Exchange Server into an Active Directory forest, additional accounts and groups may be created in the Built-in and Users containers in your domains.
This appendix describes only the groups and accounts that are created in the Built-in and Users containers in Active Directory, based on native roles and features. Accounts and groups that are created by the installation of enterprise software are not included. The Enterprise Admins EA group is located in the forest root domain, and by default, it is a member of the built-in Administrators group in every domain in the forest. The Built-in Administrator account in the forest root domain is the only default member of the EA group.
EAs are granted rights and permissions that allow them to affect forest-wide changes. These are changes that affect all domains in the forest, such as adding or removing domains, establishing forest trusts, or raising forest functional levels. In a properly designed and implemented delegation model, EA membership is required only when first constructing the forest or when making certain forest-wide changes such as establishing an outbound forest trust.
The EA group is located by default in the Users container in the forest root domain, and it is a universal security group, unless the forest root domain is running in Windows Server mixed mode, in which case the group is a global security group. Although some rights are granted directly to the EA group, many of this group's rights are actually inherited by the EA group because it is a member of the Administrators group in each domain in the forest. Enterprise Admins have no default rights on workstations or member servers.
Each domain in a forest has its own Domain Admins DA group, which is a member of that domain's built-in Administrators BA group in addition to a member of the local Administrators group on every computer that is joined to the domain. The only default member of the DA group for a domain is the Built-in Administrator account for that domain.
DAs are all-powerful within their domains, while EAs have forest-wide privilege. In a properly designed and implemented delegation model, DA membership should be required only in "break glass" scenarios, which are situations in which an account with high levels of privilege on every computer in the domain is needed, or when certain domain wide changes must be made. Although native Active Directory delegation mechanisms do allow delegation to the extent that it is possible to use DA accounts only in emergency scenarios, constructing an effective delegation model can be time consuming, and many organizations use third-party applications to expedite the process.
The DA group is a global security group located in the Users container for the domain. There is one DA group for each domain in the forest, and the only default member of a DA group is the domain's Built-in Administrator account. Because a domain's DA group is nested in the domain's BA group and every domain-joined system's local Administrators group, DAs not only have permissions that are specifically granted to Domain Admins, but they also inherit all rights and permissions granted to the domain's Administrators group and the local Administrators group on all systems joined to the domain.
The built-in Administrators BA group is a domain local group in a domain's Built-in container into which DAs and EAs are nested, and it is this group that is granted many of the direct rights and permissions in the directory and on domain controllers. However, the Administrators group for a domain does not have any privileges on member servers or on workstations.
Membership in domain-joined computers' local Administrators group is where local privilege is granted; and of the groups discussed, only DAs are members of all domain-joined computers' local Administrators groups by default. The Administrators group is a domain-local group in the domain's Built-in container.
By default, every domain's BA group contains the local domain's Built-in Administrator account, the local domain's DA group, and the forest root domain's EA group.
Many user rights in Active Directory and on domain controllers are granted specifically to the Administrators group, not to EAs or DAs. A domain's BA group is granted full control permissions on most directory objects, and can take ownership of directory objects. Although EA and DA groups are granted certain object-specific permissions in the forest and domains, much of the power of groups is actually "inherited" from their membership in BA groups.
Although these are the default configurations of these privileged groups, a member of any one of the three groups can manipulate the directory to gain membership in any of the other groups. Deny log on as a batch job. Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services.
Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation. Force shutdown from a remote system. Impersonate a client after authentication. Increase a process working set. Increase scheduling priority. Load and unload device drivers. Manage auditing and security log. Modify firmware environment values. Obtain an impersonation token for another user in the same session. Perform volume maintenance tasks.
This is where AD permissions come into play. AD permissions ensure that users of an AD network only gain access to resources that they need. This prevents misuse of resources inside the network.
In this article, we will take a look at what AD permissions are, permission inheritance to child objects, and dive into how to assign permissions in AD using two different methods.
AD permissions are a set of rules that define how much an object has the authority to view or modify other objects and files in the directory. AD permissions are an important functionality. This is because not all objects would need to access everything in the directory. Thus, permissions in AD are a security functionality. AD permissions are object-specific. When you assign permission to a container object, for example, you are given the control to restrict certain objects within the container not to inherit the permissions of the parent container.
Such control gives fine-grained permission customization to an administrator using AD permissions. It is called permission inheritance, which will be explained below. To view the permissions,.
In the Security tab, you will find the basic permissions of the object. Some objects, depending on their class, may have additional permissions in the standard section. Users and administrators can view their currently logged-in account and as well as sign-out of this Azure AD account from the Account tab of Windows Admin Center Settings.
To set up Azure AD authentication, you must first register your gateway with Azure you only need to do this once for your Windows Admin Center gateway. This step creates an Azure AD application from which you can manage gateway user and gateway administrator access.
Once you save the Azure AD access control in the Change access control pane, the gateway service restarts and you must refresh your browser. Using the Azure tab of Windows Admin Center general settings, users and administrators can view their currently logged-in account and as well as sign-out of this Azure AD account.
One of the benefits of using Azure AD as an additional layer of security to control access to the Windows Admin Center gateway is that you can leverage Azure AD's powerful security features like conditional access and multifactor authentication.

If you're going to use Windows Admin Center on Windows Server, however, you need to set up some form of Kerberos delegation in your environment before you can use single sign-on. The delegation configures the gateway computer as trusted to delegate to the target node.
To configure Resource-based constrained delegation in your environment, use the following PowerShell example. This example shows how you would configure a Windows Server [node Role-based access control enables you to provide users with limited access to the machine instead of making them full local administrators.
Read more about role-based access control and the available roles. Setting up RBAC consists of 2 steps: enabling support on the target computer s and assigning users to the relevant roles. Make sure you have local administrator privileges on the machines where you are configuring support for role-based access control.
The single machine deployment model is ideal for simple environments with only a few computers to manage. Configuring a machine with support for role-based access control will result in the following changes:. You can also fill these groups consistently across your domain by configuring a Group Policy Object with the Restricted Groups Policy Setting.
In a large enterprise deployment, you can use your existing automation tools to push out the role-based access control feature to your computers by downloading the configuration package from the Windows Admin Center gateway. The configuration package is designed to be used with PowerShell Desired State Configuration, but you can adapt it to work with your preferred automation solution.
