Change service user

Overview
Any other Windows user can also become the service user (instead of "auduser") if they are
set up as a local Windows administrator or a domain user and possess local administrator
rights.
Change service user
The service user is identified in the registry by two entries: User name and user type. The
default user name is "auduser", the user type for the service user is "2".
In order to change the service user, the user who wants to be the new service user must log
into Windows with local administrator rights. Only this user has sufficient user rights to make
the entries in his user-specific branch of the registry.
The service user is registered by the following registry entries:
