With the "Users and Groups" tool in AOMEI Partition Assistant, you can easily create and manage local users accounts and groups on a local computer.
A user on a local PC is an individual account that someone uses to log in and work on the computer. Each user has their own username and password. And, it is able to have personal settings (wallpapers, themes, files, and application preferences). And, users can be given different permission levels, like Administrator, Standard/Normal User, and Guest.
A group is a collection of user accounts that share the same permissions and rights. Instead of setting permissions for each user one by one, you can assign them to a group. Groups make it easier to manage multiple users.
Creating and managing users and groups on a local PC helps maintain security, control, and efficiency. It ensures that each person has the right level of access while keeping the system safe and organized.
