Title

Unauthorized accounts will not have the "Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation" user right. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Inappropriate granting of user rights can provide system, administrative, and other high level capabilities. The "Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation" right allows the Trusted for Delegation setting to be changed. This could potentially allow unauthorized users to impersonate other users.
