On Server, by default, only members of the Administrators or other Operator
groups have the Right to Log on Locally.  On Workstation, by default, this
is given to the special group Everyone.

This is done so that a casual user cannot log onto the Server box from the
keyboard and shut it down.  It wouldn't do to have your PDC shut down by
accident because the user logged on didn't know any better.  

Everyone can access your Server box over the network, however, by default. 
Obviously necessary for user logon validation in a domain.
