Authorization Manager can be run as a stand-alone console or as a snap-in added to a Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Administrators is the minimum group membership required to complete this procedure. Review the details in "Additional considerations" in this topic.
To start Authorization Manager |
Click Start, type azman.msc in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If the User Account Control dialog box appears, provide the requested permission or credentials.
Additional considerations
-
Authorization Manager opens without a default authorization store. To use Authorization Manager, you need to create or open an authorization store.
-
You can configure your own MMC that includes Authorization Manager as part of that console. For more information, refer to "Additional references" in this topic.
-
Authorization Manager opens with the same configuration as at the time you closed the console.
-
Depending on the configuration of your computer, the User Account Control dialog box may or may not appear. It will not appear if you are logged in with the built-in Administrator account (the local Administrator account is disabled by default in this version of Windows).
-
By default, members of the local Administrators group have sufficient rights and privileges to complete this task. In your environment, security may be managed so that non-administrators have additional rights.
-
If User Account Control is enabled, it can be configured to allow non-administrators to enter the credentials of an administrator to complete administrative tasks without being a member of the Administrators group.
