Determining User Privileges.

The User Manager's Account Policy option enhances system security through password control and lockout privileges.
Event Viewer is a cross between a user-related tool and a system-diagnosis utility. It provides a log of various system, security and application events, and can help with troubleshooting. It also allows the system administrator to determine if security breaches have occurred (for instance, if someone was locked out of the system due to excessive entry of an incorrect password.)
When you open Event Viewer, all recent system events will be displayed. By clicking the Log menu, you can view application events (and security events if you are the system administrator). By opening the View menu, you can filter events by various criteria, reverse their list order, search for specific events, or get additional event details, if available.
Remote Access Admin controls how and when remote users can connect to the LAN. It is reserved for the system administrator or someone with similar access. The administrator can assign domainwide permission (a domain is a virtual location, usually the entire network), or can set privileges for only one workstation. Access can be disabled temporarily, or permanent access changes can be made. This function only works if you are connected to a network, and will rarely be used by anyone other than system administrators.
