However, several Windows users are getting the connection denied error when they try to RDP with a standard account on a computer. The error will appear with a message like this: “The connection was denied because the user account is not authorised for remote login”. This happens because the computer you’re trying to connect has not added the standard account for the remote access.
Allowing Standard User in Windows 7 and 10
Using Remote Desktop Connection application allows you to connect and control your Windows computer from a remote device. But this option is off by default, you need to enable it first. In Windows 7 and 10 we have few different methods through which we can add the standard users for the RDP. You can try any of the methods to add the standard user and later access it by logging in to that username through Remote Desktop Connection.
Method 1: Adding Standard User in System Properties (Win 7 & 10)
Method 2: Adding Standard User in Local Users and Groups (Win 7 & 10)
Method 3: Adding Standard User using PowerShell (Win 10)
