We have a program that requires users to be power uses to save information into the data base. I was woundering if there is a way that when a new user logs in it sets them up as power users rather than standard users.


Any help will be much appreciated

Add the Everyone Group to the power users group
 
I would suggest adding the domain users' group (from the domain) to the Power Users' group (on the PC) that way it is a little more secure than the everyone group.

That is, unless the machine is not in a domain. CJ

Yes,
If you are the admin you can change the user settings in the control panel, then click on user and password click on the user that you want to be a power user and click Properties then click on the user tab called something like group and put him as the power user.
