  2. In the console tree, click Users.
  3. Right-click the user's account, and then click Properties.
  4. On the Member Of tab, click Add.
  5. In Enter the object names to select, type one of the Sophos group names:
    • SophosAdministrator
    • SophosPowerUser
    • SophosUser
  6. If you want to validate the Sophos group name, click Check Names.
When the user next logs on to the computer, they will find that their access rights to Sophos Endpoint Security and Control have changed.
