SeSystemProfilePrivilege

SeSystemProfilePrivilege gives service privilege to profile system performance.

Allows a user to sample the performance of system processes. This privilege is required by the Performance snap-in only if it is configured to collect data by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

Default setting: Administrators.

Ordinarily, you do not need this privilege to use the Performance snap-in. However, you do need the privilege if System Monitor is configured to collect data by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
