How to give new user same privileges like domain administrator

Dear Experts
I installed new C# application (Client -server application ) on the network but when the users login with their user name on the domain they cannot open the application when they open the application and type the login user name and password the exception appeared that the network user name cannot login
But when I login to the computer on the domain with the administrator then I can open the application without any error.
I gave some users same permissions and add them to the groups and group policy same as administrator in the member of window properties on the active directory groups and users window but still get same error  
I think there is some thing missing how I will give the new users same privileges and permissions to be same as administrator and login to the application without errors like administrator account?

Hi,

First port of call should be the software vendor or author - they will know exactly what permissions that their software requires.

However, in general, you'll probably need to give the users access to one or more folders, plus maybe one or more registry keys.

Best to start with the software vendor though, rather than trying to guess.

Hi Alan ,

Software vendor said no special requirements needed any user can login to the software , contact your network administrator to solve this issue and the network administrator not available now and I have access to the domain active directory so what is your suggstion folders and registry keys to give to the users I created new users and I add them to the Administrator group and admin users group same as administrator but still get error only administrator user can login to the application without any error from the clients computers.
How is the application run? Is it installed on client machines or run from a network share? Do the clinet computers have the min requirements e.g. .NET Framework version? If running from a share, does the share have the correct NTFS and Share permissions?
Hi Ziad,

I think your software vendor is, at best, lazy, or more likely incompetant.

There are ways to track down what is required, but it is laborious and time consuming - which means it will cost your business dollars either in IT support, or the opportunity cost of time of staff.

Your call, but I would be looking to ditch the vendor.  Hopefully you haven't paid for this software yet if you haven't got it working - if so, don't, and if you have, and the sum is at all significant, then I would be talking to your legal dept.

Such crap really annoys me.

for payment still no payment given to the vendor the payment after successful implementation and after using the system, and the vendor team available on site .
The application installed on the server with microsoft windows server 2012 R2. then install the application on the clients by using setup.exe file
and run the application with the setup file we installed the min requirements which is .NET framework 4.5.2 + crystal report software for reporting. also no shared folder on the server only using connection string to connect to the SQL server on the server and its connected and the application working when login with administrator account from clients machines.

The application built all with microsoft products
Microsoft SQL server for database
Microsoft visual studio 2015 for tools and application windows.
Then the vendor would seem to have some incentive to tell you what permissions are actually required.

If they say that normal users should be able to run the software, then show them an example of how it isn't working.

Contact the vendor.

You never, ever, give user admin rights, even as local admin. This is not following best practices. This is just being lazy and should a virus or ranswomware infect one of the clients, you're going to have a bigger problem than not be able to run the vendor's software.
