Administrative users are those users who are permitted to access applications for administrative purposes. These users are authorized to perform administrative tasks according to the COM+ roles to which they belong.
Note: With Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and later Operating Systems, it is only the Administrator version of those users, not the Standard User version that are members of the Administrators Group. Therefore, no Standard User accounts are added by default into the Users Role. In earlier versions of Windows, the user was automatically in the Users Role via its membership of the Administrators Group. Non-administrative users still had to be added manually to the Users Role. In Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and later Operating Systems, this rule still applies, but now everyone is a non-administrative user by default
The following table outlines the available COM+ roles and the administration commands to which they grant access. Refer to the Runtime Administration Tool Online Helpfor more information on how to use the administration commands.

Note: The BUILTIN\Administrators group requires authentication with the domain authority, so if you wish to add this group to any COM+ roles, you must ensure that you have installed AB Suite 7.0 GCA using the domain level credentials for Application Users and Application Administration Users. Installing the product using local user accounts results in incorrect behavior for role based authentication.
