local user already created, need to assign local user to reg software key

In reply to You mean create a new local user?

local user already creted, need to assign local user to regkey
the key is in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Software App here

I can add the local user o the software key and assign permissions by clicking on properties of the software key while in the registry. I need to script process this without physically accessing each machine registry.
thanks

A GPO would be quicker

In Group policy management the setting that you want is under
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Registry

Add the registry key and the desired permission.

gpo not an option

gpo not an option, but thanks, the PCs are a select group of PCs subject ot corporate group policies. Corp policies don/t support this SW and the necessary permissions. I am trying to avoid the creation of a seperate group policy container managing this select group of PCS, thus managing users and permissions at the SW key level.
