A server stack is the collection of software that forms the operational infrastructure on a given machine. In a computing context, a stack is an ordered pile. A server stack is one type of solution stack — an ordered selection of software that makes it possible to complete a particular task. Like in this post about Is there any possible way to give an all the services (windows and 3rd party) access to the non admin users? was one problem in server stack that need for a solution. Below are some tips in manage your windows server when you find problem about windows, user-management, user-permissions, , .
I am planning to give all the services start /stop access to the users(non-admin) I don’t want to give the administrator group access to them.
I have a couple of windows servers running with a couple of third-party services, So just I want to give those services access to my team.
I have tried to create a group policy, but I am not able to give access to all the services, I can only able to give specific windows services only.

What I would do is create a GPP schedule task that runs daily.
- Create a group for your users
-
create a ps script that will loop through all services and check if the service has the group assigned to it.
- if not assign the rights the to group as outlined in this article.
-
use gpp to run that ps script via a scheduled task as system.
You can use PowerShell Just Enough Administration (JEA). It requires some setup but you can define which services a normal user can start/stop.
This will only work if the users are using PowerShell to start/stop services. It doesn’t work if they want to use the GUI.
