Discussion

A user's Windows profile consists of the information used by Windows to identify the user. See the HierarchicalUser class for a user's UNIX profile.

The rights you assign to users and group in a particular role apply to Active Directory users and groups. They can also apply to locally-defined users and groups if you configure the role definition to allow local accounts to be assigned to the role. All Windows users, including local users, must be assigned at least one role that allows them log on locally, remotely, or both.
