If you plug in a USB device and you are not a member of
the Administrators group, Windows 2000 generates the error
message: the user is not authorized to install a new
device. This issue, among others, is why many
organizations make users, particularly laptop users,
members of the administrator group. This is simply not
acceptable in many other organizations from a security
perspective. Other organizations don't allow it for
operational issues - to prevent too twiddling with the
operating system - because it results in too many calls to
the help desk and installers groups.
Windows 2000 has a method to allow members of normal user
groups or power users to plug in USB devices and install
device drivers:
Logon with administrative rights.
Double-click on Administrative Tools in Control Panel.
Double-click the Local Security Policy object.
Double-click the User Rights Assignment.
Select Load and unload device drivers from the list. By
default, only the Administrators group has this right.
Double-click the entry.
Click the Add button.
Select one or more users (or an appropriate group, such as
Power Users) and add those accounts to the list to grant
this right.
Reboot to make effective.
