Limited User

Limited User accounts have much fewer access rights than Administrator accounts do. These can also be referred to as Non-Admin accounts.

Microsoft has now replaced both this term and Non-Admin with one of two alternatives, depending on which operating system you are discussing:

For Windows XP/2k/2k3, use Least-privileged User Account.
For Windows Vista, use [User Access Control].

"Limited User" is also the actual name of a Windows account type in Windows XP/2k/2k3. For more about Windows account types, see .Net Framework Class Library: WindowsBuiltInRole Enumeration
