Power user
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A power user is a user of a personal computer who can utilize advanced functions and programs which are outside the reach of normal users due to the complexity and advanced knowledge required to perform these tasks. Also: a computer user who seeks and uses products having the most features and the fastest performance.
In Microsoft Windows 2000 and later, there is a "Power Users" group on the system that gives more permissions than a normal restricted user, but stops short of Administrator permissions. It should be noted that if a user is a member of the Power Users group, he or she is able to promote their account to an Administrator with little effort. The Power Users group should be used with 'trusted' users only; it is not suitable to 'contain' untrusted users.
