# $ K Setting WinStation Permissions
Setting permissions on a WinStation specifies the access that a group or user has to it.  When a WinStation is created, it is given default WinStation permissions.  If the WinStation is a copy of an existing WinStation, it inherits the permissions of the original WinStation.
Permissions are cumulative except that the No Access permission overrides all other permissions. For example, if a user is a member of a group with User Access permission and a member of a group with Full Control permission, the user will have Full Control permission.
	NOTE:  To change permissions on a WinStation, you must be a system administrator, even if the specific permissions on the WinStation grant you Full Control.  Only system administrators can configure WinStations, including setting WinStation security.
To change permissions on a WinStation
1.	Select a WinStation or WinStation Set from the WinStation List.
2.	Choose Permissions from the Security menu.
3.	In the WinStation Permissions dialog box, select the name of the group or user whose permission you want to change.
4.	Choose a permission from the Type of Access box. 	To customize the permissions set for the group or user, choose Special Access... from the Type of Access box.
5.	Choose the OK button.
To remove WinStation permissions

The Add Users And Groups dialog box is available from the dialog boxes that allow you to change and remove permissions and auditing for users and groups. Use the dialog box to add users and groups to the permissions or auditing list, search for the members of a group, and find the domain to which a group or user belongs.
The Add Users And Groups dialog box displays the groups on the computer or in the domain shown by the List Names From box.  Local groups are shown for the computer or domain whose name is followed by an asterisk (*).  You can select another domain by using the List Names From box.
