Difference Between Administrator and Power Users?
Administrators
Members of the Administrator group have total control over the computer and everything on it. The user named Administrator is the default account within this group. The domain account of each faculty or staff member with a Windows 2000 computer is part of the Administrator group on his or her computer.
Administrators Can:
• Create, modify, and access local user accounts
• Install new hardware and software
• Upgrade the operating system
• Back up the system and files
• Claim ownership of files that have become damaged
• Do anything a Power User can
Power Users
The Power User class can perform any task except for those reserved for Administators. They are allowed to carry out functions that will not directly affect the operating system or risk security. All domain accounts are part of the Power Users group on public Windows 2000 computers.
Power Users Can:
• Create local user accounts
• Modify user accounts which they have created
• Change user permissions on users, power users, and guests
• Install and run applications that do not affect the operating system
• Customize settings and resources on the Control Panel, such as Printers, Date/Time, and Power Options
• Do anything a User can
Power Users Cannot:
• Access other users' data without permission
• Delete or modify user accounts they did not create
