Step 2: Set Account Privileges for Each User
It is not uncommon for some users to need computer account privileges that allow
them to install their own software or configure printers, but that do not give them
full rights on the system. For such users, Microsoft established the Power User
account level. You can manage account levels through the Member Of tab in the user
account??™s Properties dialog box to add the user to one or more groups, or you can add
multiple users to an account group in the respective group??™s Properties dialog box. To
add users to the Power Users group:
Click Groups in the left pane of the Computer Management console.
Double-click Power Users in the center pane.
In the Power Users Properties dialog box, shown in Figure 13-3, click the
Add button.
In the Select Users dialog box, shown in Figure 13-4, type in the users??™ names,
separated by a semicolon.
