This policy setting determines whether users can create global objects that are available to all sessions. Users can still create objects that are specific to their own session if they do not have this user right
Users who can create global objects could affect processes that run under other users' sessions. This capability could lead to a variety of problems, such as application failure or data corruption.
Countermeasure:
Restrict the Create global objects user right to members of the local Administrators and Service groups.
Potential Impact:
None. This is the default configuration.
Parameter:
[list_of_users_followed_by_comma]
Technical Mechanism:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\User Rights Assignment\\Create global objects
(2) REG: ###
(3) WMI: root\\rsop\\computer#RSOP_UserPrivilegeRight#AccountList#UserRight='SeCreateGlobalPrivilege' and precedence=1
