I would assume network is just for network ports - I wonder what the security risks of Power Users would be could some one elaborate perhaps what the difference is between a Power User and Administrator (we dont want users to be able to install addons, updates, software etc.) - OR - Provide a workaround to allow these select users the ability to adjust the COM port.
I am tried the Windows Security Group for reading COM information but that was too limited to adjust the com port under device manager. I am looking into this but this is purely driver installations and it doesn't look like it gets me the whole way (will go back to review for printer idea I have now :) ) Short of creating a secondary local admin account for them to use only when they need to adjust the COM port is all I could think. The problem is that you need admin rights as far as I can see right now - which is against our policy. I am trying to set a user up who needs to adjust the COM port either the baud rate, parity, or things such as the value it shows up as either COM1/2/3. If your account has admin rights, it will say 'Administrator. In User Accounts, you see your account name listed on the right side. Hey all found a fun little 'no admin' work around situation I need to implement. The easiest way to check if your user account has admin rights on the computer is by accessing the User Accounts in Windows.
