It is not emtpy. It says "Use the UserInfo plug-in. For an example see the 'Examples\UserInfo' folder."

However, this info is incomplete. On Vista and higher, you should also add a requestexecutionlevel admin. (However, remember that this is only an extra for when UAC is turned on. If UAC is turned off, requestexecutionlevel is completely ignored by Windows.) Here's the proper way to do it:
