Getting Started With User Account Control on Windows Vista
Overview User Account Control (UAC) is a new security component of the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. UAC enables users to perform common tasks as non-administrators, called standard users in Windows Vista, and as administrators without having to switch users, log off, or use Run As. A standard user account is synonymous with a user account in Windows XP. User accounts that are members of the local Administrators group will run most applications as a standard user. By separating user and administrator functions while enabling productivity, UAC is an important enhancement for Windows Vista. This paper provides user experience and configuration data for both managed and unmanaged environments as well as information about UAC updates included in Windows Vista.
