Hello Richa Kumari,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

The Domain Controller Operators group in Active Directory is a built-in group that, by default, has elevated permissions on all domain controllers in the domain.
Members of this group can perform common administrative tasks on domain controllers, such as managing user accounts, resetting passwords, and managing group policies.

However, it is important to note that the Domain Controller Operators group should be used sparingly and only for specific tasks. It is recommended to limit the number of users who are members of this group and to remove users from the group when their tasks are complete.

In terms of specific permissions, members of the Domain Controller Operators group have the following default permissions on domain controllers:

• Log on locally
• Shut down the system
• Back up files and directories
• Restore files and directories
• Change the system time
• Manage auditing and security log

It is important to note that these permissions can be modified and customized based on specific organizational needs and security requirements.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Daisy Zhou
