TPM Management is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. You can run TPM Management as a stand-alone console or add it to any MMC.
Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

Additional considerations
- Depending on the configuration of your
computer, the User Account Control prompt may appear. It
will not appear if you are logged on with the built-in
Administrator account (the local Administrator account is disabled
by default in this version of Windows).
- 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.
- By default, members of the local
Administrators group have sufficient rights and privileges
to complete this task. In your environment, security may be managed
such that non-administrators have additional rights.
