Details
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.
The recommended state for this setting is: Administrators, LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE, SERVICE.
Rationale:
Users who can create global objects could affect Windows services and processes that run under other user or system accounts. This capability could lead to a variety of problems, such as application failure, data corruption and elevation of privilege.
Impact:
None – this is the default behavior.
