Increase a process working set
This privilege determines which user accounts can increase or decrease the size of a process's working set. The working set of a process is the set of memory pages currently visible to the process in physical RAM memory. These pages are resident and available for an application to use without triggering a page fault. The minimum and maximum working set sizes affect the virtual memory paging behavior of a process.
When configuring a user right in the SCM enter a comma delimited list of accounts. Accounts can be either local or located in Active Directory, they can be groups, users, or computers.
Counter Measure:
Certain environments can help mitigate this risk by limiting which users can increase the process working set.
Potential Impact:
Users will be unable to increase the working set for their processes, which could degrade performance.
