Issue description  

While using ADAudit Plus, you may encounter the following notification:

Authentication: Error - The user/system has no admin privilege

This message typically appears when a minimum-privilege or least-privilege service account is configured. It is an informational alert and does not impact product functionality.

Prerequisites  

• ADAudit Plus must be running with a valid service account configured under Admin > Domain Settings > Modify Credentials.

• Ensure the service account has the necessary minimum privileges as outlined in the configuration guide.

Possible causes  

• The configured account does not have domain admin privileges.

• ADAudit Plus flags this to notify the user that a least-privilege account is in use, which is acceptable and often recommended in secure environments.

Resolution  

Informational only—no action required  

• The message is non-blocking and does not affect event collection, report generation, or agent communication.

• ADAudit Plus will function normally, and all reports should be available as expected.

If you're using a minimum-privilege service account intentionally, this message can be safely ignored.

Optional: Disable the notification  

If you prefer not to see this alert:

1. Go to the Admin tab in ADAudit Plus.

2. Navigate to Configuration > Alert/Report Settings.

3. Locate the option Show Privileged Domain User Alert.

4. Uncheck the setting and click Save changes.
