This policy setting determines whether users can increase the base priority class of a process. (It is not a privileged operation to increase relative priority within a priority class.) This user right is not required by administrative tools that are supplied with the operating system but might be required by software development tools.
Countermeasure:
Verify that only Administrators have the Increase scheduling priority user right assigned to them.
Potential Impact:
None. This is the default configuration.
Parameter:
[list_of_users_followed_by_comma]
Technical Mechanism:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\User Rights Assignment\\Increase scheduling priority
(2) REG: ###
(3) WMI: root\\rsop\\computer#RSOP_UserPrivilegeRight#AccountList#UserRight='SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege' and precedence=1
