What rights show processes from all users?

T

TWFoong

Foar a Standard power user, in the task manager the check
box "show processes from all users" is Grayed out when
logine in via Terminal services.

I need to create a "Support Operators" Local Group that
is similar to "power users" but has the ability to "show
processes from all users" WITHOUT having the
full "Administrators" Rights. I know if you join the user
to the Administrators Group then the "show processes from
all users" check box is available. What Rights do I need
to give my "Support Operators" group to give it the
ability to see all processes?

PS I have Tried "Profile System Performance" and "Profile
Single Process" but that did not help.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or pointers or
hints!!

Regards
TW

Hi TW,

If the user is not a member of the local administrator's group this option
will not be available. The IsUserAdmin function determines if the user is
in the Administrators group or not. If the user is anything other than an
Admin IsUserAdmin simply returns false and access to this setting is denied.
Changing file and registry permissions will not make this setting available.
