When a computer joins a domain, the domain user's group
'Domain\users' is inserted into the local PC users group, 'LocalPC\Users'.

So in general, a domain user has the same rights as a local user.

This means that anything which has permissions for the 'users' group
will automatically have permissions for domain users too.

However, if something has specific permissions for an individual local user,
like LocalPC\Ron, then that will not include Domain\Ron. These are
different accounts.

This is one reason it's best to grant permissions to groups wherever
possible, rather than individuals.
