Applies To: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8

This reference topic for the IT professional provides an overview and links to information about the User Rights Assignment security policy settings user rights that are available in the Windows operating system.

User rights govern the methods by which a user can log on to a system. User rights are applied at the local computer level, and they allow users to perform tasks on a computer or in a domain. User rights include logon rights and permissions. Logon rights control who is authorized to log on to a computer and how they can log on. User rights permissions control access to computer and domain resources, and they can override permissions that have been set on specific objects. User rights are managed in Group Policy under the User Rights Assignment item.

Each user right has a constant name and a Group Policy name associated with it. The constant names are used when referring to the user right in log events. You can configure the user rights assignment settings in the following location within the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment , or on the local computer by using the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

For information about setting security policies, see How to Configure Security Policy Settings .

The following table links to each security policy setting and provides the constant name for each. Setting descriptions contain reference information, best practices for configuring the policy setting, default values, differences between operating system versions, and considerations for policy management and security.

Security policy settings are sets of rules that control various aspects of protection. They include account policies, local policies, user rights assignment, the Windows firewall, software restrictions, and so on. There are several ways to configure security policy settings. The most common are:

As most organizations use an Active Directory domain, it is preferred to apply security settings via group policies. You should have at least three security baselines created and linked in your domain, based on the following machine types:

Configuring user rights assignment via Goup Policy

Configuring user rights assignment via Goup Policy

If you have multiple versions of operating systems (OS) running on these machines, you should create separate baselines for each OS version, as some settings might not be available. This also enables stricter configuration for older systems, as they are usually less secure.

Many companies and institutions create their security baselines based on CIS. I recommend you read CIS Controls. It really helped me to understand the importance of various security actions and settings.

User rights assignments are settings applied to the local device. They allow users to perform various system tasks, such as local logon, remote logon, accessing the server from network, shutting down the server, and so on. In this section, I will explain the most important settings and how they should be configured.

For each setting, the following format is used:

Name of the setting: Recommended value, or values

Access Credential Manager as a trusted caller: No one (empty value)

Access to the Credential Manager is granted during Winlogon only to the user who is logging on. Saved user credentials might be compromised if someone else has this privilege.

Access this computer from the network: Administrators, Authenticated Users

Required for users to connect to the computer and its resources, such as an SMB share, shared printers, COM+, etc. If you remove this user right on the DC, no one will be able to log on to the domain.

Note : On DCs, you should also add the “ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS“ group.

Allow log on locally: Administrators

The default configuration includes the Users group, which allows a standard user to log on to the server console. Limit this privilege only to administrators.

Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services: Administrators, Remote Desktop Users

It's common practice that some applications are used via RDP sessions by standard users. This privilege is also frequently required for remote assistance offered by an organization's helpdesk. If a server is running Remote Desktop Services with the Connection Broker role, the Authenticated Users group must also be added to this privilege.

Note: On the DC, it is recommended to allow only administrators to connect via RDP.

Back up files and directories: Administrators

This is a sensitive privilege that allows a user to bypass NTFS permissions (only via an NTFS API interface, such as NTBACKUP). A malicious user could backup and restore data on a different computer, thereby gaining access to it.

Deny access to this computer from the network/Deny log on through Terminal Services: Local account and member of Administrators group, Guests

The default value is only Guests. You should add the second group to prevent pass-the-hash attacks, so if a local elevated user is compromised, it cannot be used to elevate privileges on any other network resource, or access it via RDP.

Force shutdown from a remote system/Shut down the system: Administrators

Only administrators should be able to shut down any server, to prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Manage auditing and security log: Administrators

This is a sensitive privilege, as anyone with these rights can erase important evidence of unauthorized activity.

Note: If you are running MS Exchange, the “Exchange Servers” group must be added to DCs.

Restore files and directories: Administrators

Attackers with this privilege can overwrite data, or even executable files used by legitimate administrators, with versions that include malicious code.

Take ownership of files or other objects: Administrators

User having this privilege can take control (ownership) of any object, such as a file or folder, and expose sensitive data.

Deny log on as a batch job/Deny log on as a service/Deny log on locally: Guests

To increase security, you should include the Guests group in these three settings.

Debug programs/Profile single process/Profile system performance: Administrators

This setting allows a user to attach a debugger to a system or process, thereby accessing critical, sensitive data. It can be used by attackers to collect information about running critical processes, or which users are logged on.

Change the system time: Administrators, Local Service

Changes in system time might lead to DoS issues, such as unavailability to authenticate to the domain. The Local Service role is required for the Windows Time service, VMware Tools service, and others to synchronize system time with the DC or ESXi host.

Create a token object: No one (empty value)

Users with the ability to create or modify access tokens can elevate any currently logged on account, including their own.

Impersonate a client after authentication: Administrators, Local Service, Network Service, Service

An attacker with this privilege can create a service, trick a client into connecting to that service, and then impersonate that account.

Note: For servers running Internet Information Services (IIS), the "IIS_IUSRS" account must also be added.

Load and unload device drivers: Administrators

Malicious code can be installed that pretends to be a device driver. Administrators should only install drivers with a valid signature.

I hope this article helped you to understand why it is important to define a security baseline for your systems. Many of the settings are already configured properly following server deployment; however, if they are not controlled by a GPO, they can be manipulated by malicious users. Be careful to whom you grant administrator permissions.

I can’t run the RD cmdlets on the RD broker to remove a user session without local administrator privileges on the broker and session host.

I need to know what user permissions are necessary to run these cmdlets as giving local admin is not desired.

Configuring User Rights Assignment policies via GPO

I'm configuring a GPO to add a local group to a user right policy, however, when configuring through GPO, all existing members of the right are removed on GPO application. You can obviously add all the users to the GPO to make sure these are retained but when the user is only local to the remote server e.g. NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT, this can't be added to the GPO from the DC which simply doesn't recognise it.

Am I right in assuming it's a case of using GPO when the user right should only contain domain accounts/groups, built-in users/groups but if additional user types need to be added then manual addition should be used instead?

Shame if it's the latter. Could do with being able to configure this via GPP like you can with local users/groups and having the option to retain the existing members which would address this initial observation

group-policy

In such specific case, please open the group policy's console from the SQL server itselft, you will need to install the RSAT tool. The options are different as it will detect your local user from it, and will allows you to select it when you edit the GPO.

Be adviced the GPO will not apply correctly on server where that local user don't exist.

Reducing Windows Attack Surface with User Rights Assignment

Last updated at Thu, 20 Jul 2017 20:26:48 GMT

As we know, attackers leverage legitimate credentials to move through systems, escalate privileges or get access to data.

Managing privileged accounts such as administrator accounts, shared accounts and service accounts is a difficult problem to solve.

Even if service account passwords are managed securely, they still remain at risk of being compromised through exploitation of services using them, lack of support for encrypted configuration files on some systems, pass-the-hash attacks, or the ability for a systems administrator account to read them in memory.

Luckily, Windows comes with granular permissions that are easy to configure and that can help us reduce the attack surface, improve general IT hygiene and obtain important log information when attempts to use these accounts improperly happen.

The same can be said of administrative accounts used by humans. These accounts have high levels of privileges, but should never be used to perform automated tasks, run services or be saved into configuration files, for reasons ranging from obvious security concerns to simple IT availability management.

Who hasn't seen a service crash when an administrator's password was changed?

Where to start

Looking at every single user right that can be configured in Windows can be overwhelming. Depending on the version of Windows being used, there are roughly 50 different rights, controling everything from permissions to change the system time, shut down systems or take ownership of files and other objects.

Luckily, Microsoft provides decent default configurations in Windows 2008 and later, and provides better configuration options in its Security Compliance Manager tool.

We recommend that you start your hardening efforts with the proposed values from SCM, customized for your organisation. You can also leverage well known configuration guides from organisms such as NIST, the NSA, FDCC, CIS Security and more.

Their proposed values for User Rights Assignments are not bad, but will obviously need to be customized with real groups and accounts from your environment, which no guide written by someone else could ever hope to cover.

One of the advantages of using SCM is its ability to output your configuration both in a *GPO Backup* format, easily restorable in AD, as well as a *SCAP* file, easily loaded in many vulnerability scanners and configuration auditing tools.

OU Structure

An OU structure that is well defined, hierarchical and simple will make the deployment of GPOs much easier.

This structure will be based on how systems are used in your organisation, but could look similar to this. Some organisations use a geographical breakdown, which can also be used, and would simply require different GPO links.

user rights assignment admx help

With such a structure, an organisation can create and use the following GPOs:

No matter what your OU structure is, remember the main goals: repeatability and ease of use. The right structure will allow you to control a great majority of parameters in as few GPOs as possible, and allow any systems administrator or security operator to easily understand the resulting configuration on servers.

User Rights to configure

Now that we have a flexible OU structure, some baseline hardening policies for our servers and workstations, we must look at which User Right Assignment will be customized further.

What we are trying to achieve with them is simple: prevent humans from logging in using ways that systems and services do, and prevent services from logging in using the ways human use.

Example: Service accounts should never be able to perform Remote Desktop Connections, and humans should not be able to log in as a batch job or service.

To perform such a configuration while retaining flexibility, we will leverage positive rights (allow), and supplement them with negative rights (deny) to explicitely block access when it might otherwise be granted by another level of privileges, such as a service account that has local administrator privileges.

user rights assignment admx help

To succeed at configuring these, using Active Directory Groups is essential.

For each of these critical rights, create an Active Directory group, which will be granted access. In most cases, you will be able to grant a right only to one local account or group (ex: administrators), plus one domain group.

The granularity of these groups is important. You must chose a level of granularity that will allow you to configure servers properly, while allowing for some level of customization when needed.

The two extreme levels of granularity would be: * An extremely broad group, granting access to the same right on all servers. * An extremely precise group, used for one right, on one server only.

As these are both impractical, due to lack of flexibility or increased complexity (and even Kerberos ticket size issues in some cases), an option that lands roughly in the middle of these two extremes is often the most appropriate: **

The **granularity** of these groups is important. You must chose a level of granularity that will allow you to configure servers properly, while allowing for some level of customization when needed.

As these are both impractical, due to lack of flexibility or increased complexity (and even Kerberos ticket size issues in some cases), an option that lands roughly in the middle of these two extremes is often the most appropriate: One group per right, per server role .

Ex: A group that allows logging in locally on print servers.

If you picked our recommended level of granularity, you will be creating roughly 10 AD groups per server role. While this seems like a lot, it can actually be automated quite easily when introducing new roles.

To keep the management overhead as low as possible, which not only helps optimizing operations but also reduces complexity and reduces the odds of human error, group nesting will be required.

Group Nesting will allow you to create "role" groups, which will themselves be members of the appropriate User Rights groups.

By creating such a structure, you will be able to easily grant access to all servers, to all servers in a role, and single server exceptions can be managed separately.

We highly encourage you to use such a structure to control which domain groups are local administrators on systems. Remove Domain Administrators, and if necessary, use one AD group per server. This will allow you to control local administrator privileges directly in AD, all the time, meaning you have a centralized database for it, that local groups will not be filled by unresolved SIDs as accounts are deleted, and more.

Since we are going to use deny rights , it is important to nest groups into the appropriate deny rights AD groups .

user rights assignment admx help

From this diagram, we see that granting Mario access to manage print servers only requires making him a member of the general Windows Admin group, while Luigi can only manage Print Servers, as he is a member of a more specific Print Servers Admins group.

These groups result in both of them being granted 5 rights on the servers: 3 allow, 2 deny. They can now log in locally or remotely, but are unable to start a service or a batch with their own account.

In some cases, a level of granularity can be removed by granting the deny rights at a higher level, since they are usually broader concepts. This is especially useful for service accounts, where we mostly want to deny specific logon types, on all servers.

Nesting Service Accounts

Service Accounts can obtain privileges the same way a regular account can. The rights that will be granted will obviously be different, and will often be the opposite of what a human would receive.

As GPOs are re-applied periodically, any change in configuration will be corrected rapidly. This can lead to software being installed, looking functional and then stopping a few moments later, as the local privileges are stripped from the service account. To avoid this issue, ensure privileges required by services are well understood prior to installation. Your testing environment and Windows Security Event Log are your best friends when troubleshooting permission issues.

Every company, no matter how small, has at least a few IT exceptions to deal with. It could be an obvious one, such as a web server requiring access to "log on locally" due to how Windows is built, or it could be some kind of crazy service actually leveraging Remote Desktop to perform some action.

Precise exceptions can be granted with the model we've built.

Simply create an exception GPO (ex: "GPO to Grant CrazyHackJobService the right to perform a remote desktop logon"), ensure it gets applied only to a security group (ex: "Group of computers running CrazyHackJobService"), then link it on your "Servers" OU or equivalent. Make sure this GPO is applied last (on top in the GPMC interface), to override any configuration coming from other, less specific GPOs.

This will allow you to reconfigure the specific user right(s) required for this service to work properly, deploy these configurations only to specific servers and do so without having to create a special OU structure. Remember that groups are flexible, but OUs are not. A server can be in many groups, but will always be in a single OU.

Note: While applying new GPOs does not require a reboot, if you've just made a server a member of a group, a reboot might be required to refresh tokens that will then give it access to the filtered GPO.

user rights assignment admx help

As User Rights Assignments are linked to specific logon types, the information generated by attempted logons can be extremely useful to your security monitoring efforts.

List of Logon Types

Assume a service account's password is somehow obtained by an attacker, using a variety of methods from pass-the-hash to memory extraction or the good old "found a word document with passwords" technique. As the attacker attempts to use this account to connect to systems, the odds of an attempt being performed using one of the denied logon rights is high.

The security logs, when the username and password are correct but the logon type disallowed, are very precise, and will allow you to detect malicious activity happening with a service account quite quickly.

The same is also true for administrative accounts being used to install malicious services or scheduled tasks using domain credentials. Use these logs to your advantage.

Example prompt of a user "EPaw" attempting an interactive logon where not allowed:

user rights assignment admx help

Associated log entry:

user rights assignment admx help

Without spending any extra money on tools, by using this technique, customized to your environment, you will not only have reduced the attack surface of your Windows environment, but you will force it to become self-documenting when it comes to User Rights granted to service accounts, as all the information has to be stored within Active Directory.

The additional data generated by failed attempts is now ready to be ingested by your security monitoring tools, and the next attacker who will attempt to log on using Remote Desktop to one of your servers using a service account will have to be noisier and work harder.

If all this configuration and refactoring of the placement of your systems seems too difficult, remember you can start small, configuring only a few settings on existing systems, while you apply a more complex set of rules on newly provisioned systems.

Windows 10 ADMX: 4 Tips for Super Awesome Settings

Windows 10 ADMX files are like the brain of Administrative Templates. It’s what the Group Policy Editor uses to apply your GPOs. The more you master ADM/ADMX, the more control and power you’ll have with Group Policy. Here are 4 tips that will make your Windows 10 ADMX settings super awesome.

What Are ADMX Files?

Windows 10 ADMX files work behind the scenes to support Administrative Templates. If you use Group Policy today, you’ve undoubtedly used Administrative Templates to create many of your GPOs. So exactly what are ADMX files? ADMX files are XML-based files that provide registry-based settings to the Group Policy Editor. They enable you to choose the particular Group Policy settings you wish to implement. Additionally, Microsoft regularly releases new ADMX files to support each new native application or Windows 10 version release. Besides Microsoft, some third-party software companies offer ADMX files for their applications as well.

ADMX files and Group Policy Editor form a powerful partnership. Together, they provide a simple and effective way to deliver managed settings throughout your enterprise. Nevertheless, Windows 10 ADMX files don’t offer the power you need in every scenario.

Here are some examples:

Windows 10 ADMX vs. Group Policy

Microsoft introduced ADMX files with the release of Windows 2008, but the world has changed a lot since that time. Previously, the typical enterprise consisted of domain-joined computers that stayed on-prem other than a few laptops. Now, enterprises are hybrid conglomerates of domain joined and non-domain joined devices. However, Group Policy doesn’t work in non-domain joined scenarios and gets left behind.

Today, MDM enrolls most of the non-domain joined devices. If you use Microsoft Intune, you probably noticed that Microsoft recently included ADMX templates known as “Administrative Templates” profiles). In spite of Intune’s Administrative Templates, their ADMX settings coverage falls well short of Group Policy.

Windows 1- ADMX Comparison: Group Policy vs. MDM

4 tips for super awesome windows 10 admx settings.

I’m sure you’re wondering if it’s possible to utilize ADMX files regardless of domain status or location. The answer is a resounding – YES! Here are four ways you can maximize ADMX settings for Windows computers. Furthermore, you’ll learn how to overcome some of the weaknesses that have always plagued ADMX-based Group Policy settings.

1. Import Windows 10 ADMX Settings into Non-domain Environments

Your MDM solution may not have a central store to import all of your utilized ADMX files. However, you can leverage any Group Policy setting with Administrative Templates. Additionally, you can bring those directives into your MDM environment using PolicyPak MDM Edition .

PolicyPak ADMX Admin Template Entry

What happens when you need to deliver Windows 10 ADMX settings to your MDM enrolled devices? With PolicyPak MDM Edition, you can export any Group Policy Administrative Template setting (or Group Policy Preferences or Group Policy Security setting) and import it to your MDM solution.

Maybe you have remote machines out there that are rarely on-prem or maybe aren’t joined or enrolled in anything — not an issue. With PolicyPak Cloud Edition, you can deliver ADMX based policies to any internet connected machine. As a result, machines receive updated policies whenever they are connected.

2. Manage Applications That Don’t Use Windows 10 ADMX Files

I’m sure you wish that every application was well managed and had ADMX settings. However, that’s not going to happen. Fortunately, PolicyPak lets you manage the complete array of settings for your desktop applications whether they have Windows 10 ADMX files or not. With PolicyPak Application Manager, you can configure, deploy and lockdown settings for applications such as Java, Firefox, Adobe Reader and more than 300 others. If you create policies using Group Policy Editor, then you will barely have a learning curve using PolicyPak.

Windows 10 ADMX Application Settings Manager

3. Apply User Settings on to Computer Side Policies

In the examples above, we’ve shown you how PolicyPak can maximize the reach of your Windows 10 ADMX driven policies. On the other hand, Administrative Template policies have always had some inherent limitations and shortcomings. If you know that GPOs can apply to either the computer side or user side, you probably know that there are settings available on the user side that aren’t available on the computer side. That’s too bad because there are some computers such as kiosks, lab machines or conference room computers that we’d all like to apply with user-side settings.

With PolicyPak ADMX Templates Manager, you create a computer-side policy that uses Windows 10 ADMX settings from the user-side, computer-side, or both. Take a closer look at the image below to see the available options.

One of our favorite superpowers to demonstrate with regards to using Administrative Templates is how to ensure that only some computers get a screen saver policy when other computers do not. To see how that works, check out the video below:

4. Apply Item-level Targeting to Windows 10 ADMX Policies

If you work with Group Policy, you know the value of using Group Policy Preferences. GPP gives you the ability to configure many more settings than Administrative Templates does and provides a GUI interface to boot. Furthermore, If you work with Group Policy, you know the value of using Group Policy Preferences. GPP gives you the ability to configure many more settings than Administrative Templates does and provides a GUI interface to boot. It also incorporates Item Level Targeting. This feature gives you the ability to assign policies with more granularity based on specified conditions such as group membership, subnet, operating system or form factor. Why is Item Level Targeting limited to just GPPrefs though?

Well, with PolicyPak Administrative Manager , it isn’t. You get the same selection of granular conditions for all policies with PolicyPak. The image below illustrates a typical example.

Group Policy Item Level Targeting ADMX

How to Supercharge your Windows 10 ADMX capabilities

What PolicyPak does is strip away the limitations that so many enterprises today face with Group Policy and ADMX files. With PolicyPak, you aren’t restricted to domain join or on-premise only. PolicyPak also always fills in some of the shortcomings that have plagued Group Policy Administrative Templates for years. PolicyPak doesn’t replace Windows 10 ADMX settings; it supercharges them, allowing you to maximize the potential of these ADMX driven policies.
