    • Debug programs
    1. Highlight the policy to be checked.
    2. Double-click the policy and look for the user ID in the "Assigned To" column of the Local Security Policy Setting window to verify the policy setting. Ensure that the Local Policy Setting and the Effective Policy Setting are checked.

    1. Click Add on the Local Security Policy Setting window. The Select Users or Groups window opens.
    2. Highlight the user of group under the Name column.
