Re: Authenticated Users & Interactive groups

It appears those are BUILTIN Groups. Is there a way to create a User

Is this possible?

In case you're wondering why: I'd like to create a User that is not a
member of Guests or Users, but can log into the computer interactively
with a profile. The Users group has too much permission and the
Guests group profiles are deleted when they log out. So basically I
want a Guests account with a permanent profile. How?


Explicit "deny" takes precedence over inherited "permit". So you could create a user that is a member of the "Users" group and also a member of a group of your creation. You can explicitly deny permissions to that group. You can also put that user in an OU and define a very restrictive set of policies with limited user rights, etc.
