This user right determines which users and groups can change the
time and date on the internal clock of the computer. Users that
are assigned this user right can affect the appearance of event
logs. If the system time is changed, events that are logged will
reflect this new time, not the actual time that the events
occurred.
This user right is defined in the Default Domain Controller
Group Policy object (GPO) and in the local security policy of
workstations and servers.
