LUA

LUA: Limited User Account. A user account that lacks any (or all) administrative rights. cf Administrator Account (AC).
It is generally recommended that a Limited User Account be used for day to day activities and an Administrator Account used only when strictly necessary. This reduces the opportunity for a system to be compromised due to the actions of the user.
