Description

Please answer the following

If it is a terminal issue then please go through wiki
https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/TTY-PTY-support-in-Windows-OpenSSH

"OpenSSH for Windows" version
7.7.1.0

Server OperatingSystem
Windows Server 2016 Standard

Client OperatingSystem
Windows 10

What is failing
By default a user (non administrator of the sshd server) as access.
Like RDP or Remote Powershell this access should be restricted to user by default.

Expected output
In sshd_config this should be present by default : AllowGroups AllowGroups Administrators

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the default sshd_config is generated for OpenSSH for Windows 7.7.1.0 and compare it with the reported access behavior. Check the project's existing configuration or integration tests, if present, and confirm that a fresh server installation enforces the intended default restriction.
