What it does
Adds members to a local group. The Add-LocalGroupMember cmdlet adds users or groups to a local security group. All the rights and permissions that are assigned to a group are assigned to all members of that group. Members of the Administrators group on a local computer have Full Control permissions on that computer. Limit the number of users in the Administrators group. If the computer is joined to a domain, you can add user accounts, computer accounts, and group accounts from that domain and from trusted domains to a local group. NOTE: If the computer is joined to a domain and you try to add a local user that has the same name as a member of the domain it adds the domain member.
