Local Security Policy not applied to all accounts equally

  It is crude, but you can Deny Full Control, to those accounts
  that should not be impacted by local policy, on the directory
  system32\GroupPolicy. For an admin to modify the settings
  in policy they need to have the Deny effecting them removed,
  and then replaced when finished with the edit.

  In some cases the method outlined in KB 293655 is of use
