Again, I said NOTHING about managing LANs. And about file deleting, let me quote myself, I already answered you about that:yes you did

"if I enter the Web GUI from the same machine, localhost, I can delete torrents from it, if entered from any other LAN device, I can see the torrents but not delete them."
Regardless you are overall talking about managing a lan network which means you want a network admin role so yes user groups become relevant.
it took us this long to get here because you were cryptic.
It's not like that at all. My example was about deleting torrents from the download list, about deleting a task inside BitTorrent. The settings visible or not depending if on localhost or not only affects the service itself, no Windows files or users involved. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough, I used a real example and I didn't thought about people not getting it. I supposed that those who have used the BitTorrent WebUI (mini web service) at some time would automatically understand that "deleting torrents" would refer to clearing them from the BitTorrent download list through the WebUI. And in any case, was just an example, on my first post I said that the localhost access exposes some settings that the access from other PCs on the LAN does not. I said nothing about handling files.
So please guys, try not to complicate or overthink this, is just a small service with few options of the same service that can only be changed if accessed the Web (administration) UI of the same service from localhost and not other computers of the LAN. No WAN, no port forwarding, no Windows settings/permissions/users, no NOTHING ESLSE.
