Add user to user group when logged in as azure user

Question

Hi!

I have a program that requires that my logged on user is in this programs group.

I have tried the following

Followed path:

Excuse the norwegian names in path, but it is the path to users and groups

windowsbutton + x -> datamaskinbehandling -> lokale brukere og grupper -> Grupper -> Administratorer

Checked users in the administrators group:

Administrator

AzureAD\AndreasSebastianKnud(S-1-2-1........................................)

I suspect that im user number 2 in this group, becouse it is a work computer connected to sharepoint, office 365 onedrive etc, its also registered with my work email (azure

I want to make this user, part of another group belonging to a program. Now the program gives me an error stating that the current user is not part of this group

I have not been successful in trying to add this user, as it cannot be found when I have tried to add it, the name of the user is also so long that it is not fully visible in the window, does the full name with the numbers in the brackets need to be stated?

I have tried to add the users: AndreasSebastianKnud og AzureAD\AndreasSebastianKnud but it does not work,I have also tried to look in regedit hkey_users og hkey_current_user to find the fulll name in the brackets and the name of current user

I have also tried to create a new local user, but this seems impossible, i manage to create a user in windows, but this user is not available in the log in screen

problem is frustrating and now preventing me from doing my work.

Is there anybody in here who has sismilar experience or even better, experince with siemens TIA portal with winccRT proffesional?

All help is much appreciated

Hello @Andreas Sebastian Knudsen ,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on the description above, now you logged on one machine with an azure user and we want to add user to one user group, but now we can not add user to one user group, we cannot create new local user, either.

Based on the test in my lab. If we want to add user to one user group or create new local user on one machine, we must logon this machine with the following account:

1.local Administrator account on this machine
2.user account from local Administrators group on this machine
3.domain Administrator account in AD
4.domain user account from built-in domain Administrators group in AD
5.built-in Domain Adminis group in AD
6.or other group with rights to add user to one user group or create new local user one this machine.

We can check if this Azure user that we logged on this machine have at least one of the rights above. If this Azure user that we logged on this machine is only a normal local user or normal domain user, he/she does not have the right to add user to one user group or create new local user.

Hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou
