    Information User Rights Assignment policies govern the methods by which a user can log on to a system. User rights are applied at the local device level, and they allow users to perform tasks on a device or in a domain. User rights include logon rights and permissions. Logon rights control who is authorized to log on to a device 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.

    Each group in Windows has its own default rights and permissions. When a user is a member of a group, the user will be assigned the rights and permissions of the group.

    This tutorial will show you how to change User Rights Assignment security policy settings to control users and groups ability to perform tasks in Windows 10.

    You must be signed in as an administrator to change User Rights Assignment.

    If you add a user or group to a user right policy, then that user or group will now be able to perform the actions of the policy on the local PC.

    How To Give All User Log In Accts. Group Policy Editor Access

    I don't think it is possible to allow non-admin accounts to be given full access to the GPE as it would negate some of the Security features of Windows. The closest you can get is by adding "Everyone" to the "User Rights Assignment Security Policy Setting" and then allow "Everyone" access to some of the Settings listed thereunder. Personally, I would leave it alone, and just use an admin account when you need to do Windows house-keeping.

    TIME CHANGE AS IF YOU HAD NOT HEARD ABOUT WHERE IS THE FIX

    Hi Daphne,

    It seems that this is a common behavior in Windows 10 computers that are part of a domain or organization. When joining a domain, there can be changes made in the Group Policy causing some certain settings to be greyed out. Have you tried changing the time
    through Control Panel? It might be a simple solution but it is something that some users miss out. Having said that, it is still something that I suggest you check out.

    Here's how

    • Go to Control Panel > Date and Time.
    • Click Change date and time... and then pick the correct date and time.
    • Click OK.

    Another thing to try is to assign user permissions to change the date and time through Group Policy Editor.

    Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows+R, and then enter gpedit.msc.
    • Navigate to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment.
    • Assign users to Group Policy Settings Change the system time and
      Change the time zone.

    Let us know how it turns out.

  5. Jizzler Win User
    Single User date/time rights

    Control Panel -> Administrative -> Local Security Policies ->Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment

    There should be "Change the system time". If anything is different, it's because I'm in Windows 7.

    I haven't tried it out before, but since I'm able to add domain accounts here, hopefully you'll be able to specify the user account (or group, if multiple people need the "date" machine) and it'll bypass whatever is set in the GPO.

    If it works, no additional GPU processing, etc, and it'll only affect that machine with that user (or group).
