Profile system performance
This policy setting allows users to use tools to view the performance of different system processes, which could be abused to allow attackers to determine a system's active processes and provide insight into the potential attack surface of the computer.
When configuring a user right in the SCM enter a comma delimited list of accounts. Accounts can be either local or located in Active Directory, they can be groups, users, or computers.
Counter Measure:
Ensure that only the local Administrators group is assigned the Profile system performance user right.
Potential Impact:
None. This is the default configuration.
