I have 2 accounts setup form my SharePoint Server (SPAdmin and SPServices). SPAdmin is in the local server's administration group and is the Farm Admin. I am running SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
In the /_admin/FarmCredentialManagement.aspx page I have the following :
SPAdmin user is in the the following components:
- Farm Account
SPServices user is in the following components:
- Windows Service - Distributed Cache
- Windows Service - Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service
- Windows Service - Search Host Controller Service
- Windows Service - SharePoint Server Search
- Windows Service - User Profile Synchronization Service
- Web Application Pool - SharePoint - 80
- Security Token Service Application (Security Token Service Application)
- Service Application Pool - SharePoint Web Services Default
- Service Application Pool - SharePoint Web Services System
Local System user is in the the following components:
- Windows Service - Claims to Windows Token Service
- Windows Service - Document Conversions Launcher Service
- Windows Service - Document Conversions Load Balancer Service
- Service Application Pool - SharePoint Web Services Default

I am getting the following error in the Health Analyzer.
Accounts used by application pools or service identities are in the local machine Administrators group.
Severity
2 - Warning
Category

Explanation
Using highly-privileged accounts as application pool or as service identities poses a security risk to the farm, and could allow malicious code to execute.
The following services are currently running as accounts in the machine
