What Are Your User Rights?

Windows Vista, XP, Windows NT and 2000, have several predefined User Groups: Administrator, Power Users, and Users. This information can be found in the Computer Management Console.


Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer and/or the Domain. Administrators have the right to Add or Remove programs, download software patches, change settings and defaults.

 

Power Users have most of the administrative options. Power Users can run legacy applications, such as most older accounting programs, in addition to certified applications.

 

Limited Users are the most restricted. Users are prevented from making accidental or intentional system-wide changes. Users can run certified applications, but not most legacy applications.
