AdminGurl,

As far as I know, there is no right assignment you can use to allow a plain
user to unlock a workstation. Only local administrators have that right.
Nevertheless, you should try browsing the Local Security settings on the
workstation to see if anything fits your requirements.

Regards!

Willy

Subject: Allow regular user to unlock screensaver locked computer

Is there a group policy or Windows Security setting that would allow some of
my users (i.e. non administators) to unlock a workstation?

So far all I can find is a third party application ( Unlock Administrator
http://www.e-motional.com/ULAdmin.htm ) This program seems to do the trick
but I obviously would prefer to do this through GP.

Note: I don't want to let just anyone to unlock the computer - I want to be
able to select only some users.

Any suggestions?
