Local Users and Groups

lusrmgr.msc

The graphical console for creating and managing local user accounts and groups on a Windows machine (not available on Home editions, which lack this snap-in).

// EXAMPLE

Adding a user to the local "Administrators" group through the Groups pane, instead of using the command line.

// GOTCHA

lusrmgr.msc doesn't exist on Windows Home editions — the Settings app's Accounts section is the only built-in option there, which surprises technicians used to having the full MMC snap-in available.
