If I create a service with nssm using nssm install, does that service run with admin permissions? If so, how can I revoke that?
1 Answer
That depends entirely on which user you specify on the Log On tab
nssm will automatically ensure that the account you choose has the necessary log on as a service permissions
You can either choose a different service account on this tab, or use the defaults and change the user from services.msc. Right-click the service, select Properties, and then navigate to the Log On tab
