The NetUserGetInfo function retrieves information about a particular user account on a server.
No special group membership is required to successfully execute NetUserGetInfo. This is a change from LAN Manager, which required membership in the Administrators or Account Operators local group to call this function at information levels above 0 (except for the user's own account, which could use level 11).
