  2. On the Security tab, click Add to open the Select Users or Groups dialog box.

  3. Type a Windows user account name in the Enter object names to select (examples) box, click Check Names, and then click OK. The selected account will appear in Operators.

You can also remove operator permissions from the Windows user accounts that are listed in Operators.
