Issue:

With newer versions of Windows OS, you no longer have the option to adjust what groups a user a member of (For example if you have Sophos installed, there would be a SophosAdministrator group). To change this, you can do this via command line.

 

Method:

1/ Find what groups there are on the system:

net localgroup

2/ Find what group a user belongs to:

net user userName

3/ Add a user to a group:

net localgroup group_name UserLoginName /add

example:

net localgroup SuperUserGroup Jason /add
