Hello all,

I am trying to assign permissions to a user so they can log in and start and stop some services, however i can't see a setting to acheive this and i don't want this user to log on as administrator.

Can this be done?

Regards,

Hi All,
I've been looking for ways to do the same thing on NT 4.0 Server (PDC) and so far no cigar so I'd appreciate any info/solutions on this one.

Thanks

Ok,

It is an NT4 Server. Clients are NT4, NT5 & XP but i am only concerned with the users who log on to the server to perform various tasks.
I want a user to be able to log on to the server and stop and start services.
If i add a user to the server operator group. They can start services but not stop them.

Regards,

have you looked at user rights policy on the server -

Start User Manager for Domains, and then on the Policies menu, click User Rights.
The User Rights Policy dialog box appears.

You can assign groups/users more rights than they normally have. to do stuff on the server. I'm not near an NT server atm so i cant check what possibilities there are. Maybe there's one there that will help you.

Just a thought I had.

Yeps, thats correct. You'll need to add the user to the load & unload device drivers. This will give them the ability to stop and start the services but won't be able to access and change the service attibutes. i.e. They can click the stop and start or maybe you can script it - (net stop servicename /yes). Hope that helps.
 
Hi,

I checked the user rights and i had already allowed drivers to be installed/uninstalled.
I have basically given permission to all user rights except change folder permissions and check security logs.

I also tried to net stop [service] however i don't know the service name.

EG ClipBook Server service can't be stopped by typing
net stop ClipBook Server, it must have another name somewhere.... besides from previous experience, if a user does not have permission to use something, it will not work using a scripted method either.
Perhaps an upgrade to win2k would fix this.....
