The following section contains a description of the class and instance rights available in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 console.

Right Applies to Grants the ability to

Administer

All secured object classes, applicable updates summary instances

Assign or remove any user security rights for a class of objects or for individual object types in that class to yourself or to any other user.

You must explicitly grant other rights appropriate to the object type. Granting the Administer right to a user does not automatically give the user Create, Modify, or Delete rights for that object type.

Create an instance of an object type.

Create stand-alone and capture CD task sequence media.
