The Authorization Manager console is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. You can run the Authorization Manager console as a stand-alone console, or add it to any MMC console.
Administrators is the minimum group membership required to complete this procedure. Review the details in "Additional considerations" in this topic.

Additional considerations
- Depending on the configuration of your
computer, the User Account Control dialog box may or may not
appear. It will not appear if you are logged in with the built-in
Administrator account (the local Administrator account is disabled
by default in this version of Windows).
- By default, members of the local
Administrators group have sufficient rights and privileges
to complete this task. In your environment, security may be managed
so that non-administrators have additional rights.
- If User Account Control is enabled, it can be
configured to allow non-administrators to enter the credentials of
an administrator to complete administrative tasks without being a
member of the Administrators group.
