RE: Top 5 challenges of least privilege for Windows
Socratesfoot 29th Jun 2010
The "Power User" role is supposed to serve this function, but it doesn't because Windows security is juvenile. Part of the problem is that files created by a user need to be secured by that user, not secured through the file system by location. If they did their security like Unix a Power User would be able to install programs nearly anywhere in the system as long as they didn't edit or alter files they didn't own. They could setup printers safely. Plus when a profile was removed, there would be the option to delete all files that user owns from all locations.
