User Privileges and Authority Needed for V4.0 and V5.0 on Windows 2000® or Windows XP®
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
If attempts to logon to an HTTP Session with a local userid that has administrator authority fail due to insufficient authorization, you may need to set some additional user privileges.
 
 
Solution
Having administrator authority is not necessarily enough. There are several privileges required for users on a Windows® system, and they differ depending on whether or not the machine is a member of a Windows domain or not.

See the following link for a complete discussion of the privileges required, how to set them, and examples:

The link takes you to an article titled Local operating system user registries in the WebSphere Application Server V5.0.1 Information Center. Scroll down slightly to the section titled Using Windows operating system registries.

This information applies to both V4.0 and V5.0.
