Re: Remove Users from Administrators Group

[Andy Kurth]

Correct.  Users are always in the Users and Remote Desktop Users groups. 
 Users are by default also added to the Administrators group unless 
administrative access is disabled.  VCL does not do anything regarding 
the Power Users group.  There hasn't been a need AFAIK.  More elaborate 
Windows group management could be added.  Please discuss if this would 
be useful.

This is controlled via the setting:
Manage Images - Edit Image Profiles - Edit - Users have administrative
access: Yes/No

imagemeta_rootaccess refers to the rootaccess column in the imagemeta table.

This only controls whether or not the users will be added to the
Administrators group.

I found the section of code where:

if (defined($imagemeta_rootaccess)  $imagemeta_rootaccess eq '0') {

notify($ERRORS{'DEBUG'}, 0, user will NOT be added to the
Administrators group);

Where is imagemeta_rootaccess defined?

Thanks,
