A technician needs administrator access on a Windows workstation to facilitate system changes without elevating permissions. Which of the following would best accomplish this task?

Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) manages system configurations and security settings, but it's not the direct tool for adding a user to a local administrator group.

The Local Users and Groups snap-in (lusrmgr.msc) allows an administrator to manage user accounts and groups directly on a local Windows workstation, including adding a specific technician's user account to the local Administrators group. This grants the technician administrative privileges for that particular machine without requiring them to have domain-wide administrative rights or elevating their permissions unnecessarily across the network.

Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) is used to manage hardware devices and drivers, not to assign user permissions or modify group memberships.

System Configuration (msconfig.exe) is used to manage startup options, services, and boot configurations, not to control user accounts or group memberships.
