This topic describes the steps required to grant user rights
on Windows operating systems.
Specific user rights are recommended for user accounts required to
install and set up DB2®.
About this task
To grant advanced user rights on Windows you must be logged on as a local
Administrator.
Procedure
- On Windows, click Start and
type secpol.msc in the search bar. Click OK.
- Select Local Security Policy.
- In the left window pane, expand the Local Policies object,
then select User Rights Assignment.
- In the right window pane, select the user right that you
want to assign.
- From the menu, select Action -> Security...
- Click Add, then select a user or
group to assign the right to, and click Add.
- Click OK.
What to do next
If your computer belongs to a Windows domain, the domain user rights can
override your local settings. In this case, your Network Administrator
must make the changes to the user rights.
