Assigning a User to Multiple Security Groups
If
you want to assign a user to more than one security group, the User
Account dialog box method that I ran through in the preceding section
won’t work. If you have Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise, or Business,
you can use the Local Users and Groups snap-in to assign a user to
multiple groups. Here’s how:
1. | Select Start, type lusrmgr.msc, and then press Enter. The Local users and Groups snap-in appears.
|
2. | Double-click the user you want to work with. The user’s property sheet appears.
|
3. | Display the Member Of tab.
|
4. | Click Add. Windows 7 displays the Select Groups dialog box.
|
5. | If
you know the name of the group, type it in the large text box.
Otherwise, click Advanced, Find Now, and then double-click the group in
the list that appears.
|
6. | Repeat step 5 to assign the user to other groups, as needed.
|
7. | Click OK. The Member Of tab shows the assigned groups, as shown in Figure 2.
|
8. | Click OK. Windows 7 assigns the user to the security groups the next time the user logs on.
