Hmmm. I can't find such right. editrights gives me this list:

editrights version 1.01: a cygwin application to edit user rights
                         on a Windows NT system.
Copyright Chris Rodgers <editrights-at-bulk.rodgers.org.uk>, Sep, 2003.
All rights reserved. See LICENCE for further details.

Usage: editrights -u USER {-a|-l|-r|-t} [options]
  -a Se...         Add right to the specified user.
  -h               Show this help message. -hv lists available user rights.
  -l               List user rights. May be combined with -a or
                   -r to list final state.
  -m MACHINE       Make all changes on the specified MACHINE.
  -r Se...         Remove right from the specified user.
  -t Se...         Test if the specified right is held by user. Returns
0 for YES and 2 for NO.
  -u USER/GROUP    Make changes to the specified USER or GROUP.
  -v               Verbose mode.

Return values:
   0               Success or YES.
   1               Error.
   2               NO.
