There's a script for that: August 2023

This is one of those things why I love the community, someone thinks of a use case for a script builds it and shares it with the world.
In this case it's a script by Blake Drumm, originally created by Bill Loytty.
It allows you to grant or deny some common access rights like:
"Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)"
"Allow log on locally (SeInteractiveLogonRight)"
"Access this computer from the network (SeNetworkLogonRight)"
"Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services (SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight)"
"Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)"
"Deny log on as a batch job (SeDenyBatchLogonRight)"
"Deny log on locally (SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight)"
"Deny access to this computer from the network (SeDenyNetworkLogonRight)"
"Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services (SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight)"
"Deny log on as a service (SeDenyServiceLogonRight)"
Head over to Blake Drumm's page ( https://blakedrumm.com/blog/set-and-check-user-rights-assignment ) to check out the full description, working, history and features of the script.
There are 2 versions of the script, 1 to set the rights and 1 to check the rights.
Set-UserRights.ps1
Get-UserRights.ps1
Below is the Set-UserRights.ps1 script:
<#
    .Synopsis
        Add and Remove User Right(s) for defined user(s) and computer(s).
    
    .DESCRIPTION
        Add and Remove User Rights via Powershell.
    
    .PARAMETER AddRight
        You want to Add a user right.
    
    .Parameter ComputerName
        Defines the name of the computer where the user right should be granted. This can be multiple values, comma seperated.
        Default is the local computer on which the script is run.
    
    .PARAMETER RemoveRight
        You want to Remove a user right.
    
    .Parameter Username
        Defines the Username under which the service should run. This can be multiple values, comma seperated.
        Use the form: domain\Username.
        Default is the user under which the script is run.
    
    .PARAMETER UserRight
        Defines the User Right you want to set. This can be multiple values, comma seperated.
        Name of the right you want to add to: SeServiceLogonRight
        There is no default for this argument
        
        Some (but not all) of the Options you can use:
        "Log on as a batch job (SeBatchLogonRight)"
        "Allow log on locally (SeInteractiveLogonRight)"
        "Access this computer from the network (SeNetworkLogonRight)"
        "Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services (SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight)"
        "Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)"
        "Deny log on as a batch job (SeDenyBatchLogonRight)"
        "Deny log on locally (SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight)"
        "Deny access to this computer from the network (SeDenyNetworkLogonRight)"
        "Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services (SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight)"
        "Deny log on as a service (SeDenyServiceLogonRight)"
    
    .Example
        Usage:
        Single Users
        
            Add User Right "Log on as a service" for CONTOSO\User:
            .\Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeServiceLogonRight
                        
            Add User Right "Log on as a batch job" for CONTOSO\User:
            .\Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeBatchLogonRight

            Remove User Right "Log on as a batch job" for CONTOSO\User:
            .\Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeBatchLogonRight
            
            Add User Right "Allow log on locally" for current user:
            .\Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -UserRight SeInteractiveLogonRight

            Remove User Right "Allow log on locally" for current user:
            .\Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -UserRight SeInteractiveLogonRight
        
        Multiple Users / Services / Computers
            Add User Right "Log on as a service" and "Log on as a batch job" for CONTOSO\User and run on, local machine and SQL.contoso.com:
            .\Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -UserRight SeServiceLogonRight, SeBatchLogonRight -ComputerName $env:COMPUTERNAME, SQL.contoso.com -UserName CONTOSO\User1, CONTOSO\User2
