Members of the Power Users group can create user accounts,
but can modify and delete only those accounts they create.
They can create local groups and remove users from local
groups they have created. They can also remove users from
the Power Users, Users, and Guests groups.
They cannot modify the Administrators or Backup Operators
groups, nor can they take ownership of files, back up or
restore directories, load or unload device drivers, or
manage the security and auditing logs.
============================================
Members of the Users group can perform most common tasks,
such as running applications, using local and network
printers, and shutting down and locking the workstation.
Users can create local groups, but can modify only the
local groups that they created. Users cannot share
directories or create local printers
Hope this helps,
