Script to change a non-admin user to an admin user in Windows

A user belonging to the ‘Users’ group does not have complete access to the device. Suppose you want to enable administrator privileges for a user. You can easily get it done by writing commands to remove the users from the ‘Users’ group and add them to the ‘Administrators’ group. These commands can be embedded in a script, and you can run them directly from Hexnode using the Execute Custom Scripts action.
