View Full Version : enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation


=?Utf-8?B?Tml2?=
Can someone explain to me why do I need this permission set , instead of creating group with relevant permissions for a job??
The NSA and MS CC evaluation recommend giving no one this permission , although the default is administrators
I suspecdt I don't understand the propose of this setting
Thanks in advance

Search the XP threats and countermeasures doc for trusted for delegation.
It will answer your question.
Basically someone could abuse the right to impersonate others.
