 It depends what words you insert to complete the sentence, but I read that as:

     "ABC" user who [is a] member [of the] windows administrator group.

 ... which makes the user "a local adminstrator", and would be OK. The installation guide says:

"
To install the Oracle Database software:

   1.

      Log on as a member of the Administrators group to the computer on which to install Oracle components.

      If you are installing on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), log on as a member of the Domain Administrators group. "

>Not as someone who is an administrator of some windows group.

 I didn't think Windows (local) groups had adminstrators as such - same as UNIX groups.
