Granting/denying privileges (Privilege Elevation Rules only)

On the Privileges tab in the Create Rule Wizard you can grant or deny privileges for a process, based on the standard Windows policies in the User Rights Assignment list (Local Security Settings\Local Policies).

To grant or deny privileges for processes (including child processes) using the Privileges tab in the Create Rule Wizard:

  1. Select the privilege and click Grant or Deny. To select multiple privileges, hold down the CTRL (or SHIFT) key while selecting the items.

Differentiating security levels (Privilege Elevation Rules only)

You can differentiate the security levels with which a process will run using the Integrity tab in the Create Rule Wizard. The integrity level is a feature of Windows operating systems.

This parameter can be applied to clients running any of the following operating systems:

  • Windows 8.1 or newer.

By default, this setting will not apply and is set to the High integrity level.
