Administrator
Certain software will only install and/or function if the user is a member of the Administrators Group on a PC. Office Liaisons are members of the Administrators Group on all PCs in the office, and Liaisons can either install the software for users or add users to the Administrators Group on a computer. Follow the steps below and add a user to the Administrators Group on the computer. To help make computers in your office more secure, add a user to the Administrators group only if it is necessary. Users in the Administrators Group have complete control of the computer.
To add yourself to the Admin Group, have your Office Liaison or one of us do the following:
- Log onto the computer with an account that have Admin priveledges (e.g. ad3\jbai)
- Click Start, right-click Computer, and click Manage, this will open a computer management console
- In the left pane, double-click Local Users and Groups
- Click the Groups folder
- In the right pane, right-click the Administrators Group, and then click Add to Group
- Click Add, and then type the ad3\ followed by the user ID of the person who wants to be an administrator on the PC (e.g. ad3\bjnoel)
- Click Check Names (if you did this correctly, you should see the user ID you entered converted to an email format and underlined)
- Click OK to accept the changes.
- Logout
After your Office Liaison or one of us finish the above steps, you will have administrator priveledges the next time you login.
