Choosing Who Can Log In
Workgroup Manager gives you control over who is allowed to access computers. You can choose which network users are allowed to log in and whether local users can log in.
Denying access supersedes allowing access. If you allow computer access to a group of network users, you can deny access to specific members of the group. However, if you deny computer access to a group, you can’t allow computer access to specific members of that group.
If you don’t list users or groups to allow or deny access to, all network users can log in. If you add users or groups to the list, only the users and groups that are explicitly allowed access can log in.
