public enum class BuiltInRole

	Member name	Description
	AccountOperator	Account operators manage the user accounts on a computer or domain.
	Administrator	Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer or domain.
	BackupOperator	Backup operators can override security restrictions for the sole purpose of backing up or restoring files.
	Guest	Guests are more restricted than users.
	PowerUser	Power users possess most administrative permissions with some restrictions. Thus, power users can run legacy applications, in addition to certified applications.
	PrintOperator	Print operators can take control of a printer.
	Replicator	Replicators support file replication in a domain.
	SystemOperator	System operators manage a particular computer.
	User	Users are prevented from making accidental or intentional system-wide changes. Thus, users can run certified applications, but not most legacy applications.

This enumeration provides functionality similar to the WindowsBuiltInRole enumeration.

These roles represent the local Windows groups common to most installations of Windows.
