Allow Remote Desktop Connection to Non-Administrator Users in Windows 10

There may be a situation where users need to connect to their desktop computer through Remote Desktop, but they are not a local administrator of the target computer. Using the Local Users and Groups Management Console, we can add them to the Remote Desktop Users group to allow remote access without giving complete control of the computer to the end user.

– Log into the target computer with a domain administrator account

– Open the Local Users and Groups management console by clicking Start and entering lusrmgr.msc in the Start Search, then opening the console

– Expand Groups

Double Click the Remote Desktop Users group in the center pane

– Click Add…

– Enter the user’s name into the search field, then click OK

– Click OK on the Remote Desktop Users Properties window

The user will now be able to connect to the computer using the Remote Desktop Client.
