What do Builtin groups allow members to do?

Is there a listing anywhere of what users will be allowed to do if they are placed into the various Windows Local Groups on the Celerra (i.e. Administrators, Power Users, Backup Operators).

I wanted to be able to give our account creation team the rights to create home directories, which includes creating the share. I noticed that if I put them into Power Users, they could do it, but I wanted to know what else I would be granting them?

    Actually, you wouldn't be assigning any new privileges other than the ability to share directories. Here's the list of default local groups and the default privs that they provide:

    Administrators: Members can fully administer the machine
    Users: Ordinary users
    Guests: Users granted guest access to the computer
    Power Users: Members can share directories
    Account Operators: Account operators of the machine
    Backup Operators: Members can bypass file security to backup files
    Replicator: Support file replication in a domain

    More specific information for you:

    Local Administrators builtin group gets:
    SeTakeOwnerShip | SeBackup | SeRestore | SeChangeNotify | SeAudit | SeIncreaseQuota | SeSecurity

    Backup operator builtin group gets:
    SeChangeNotify | SeBackup | SeRestore

    All other builtin groups get:
    SeChangeNotify (Bypass traverse checking privilege)


    Descriptions of these can be found on TechNet. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windows2000/w2kccscg/w2kscgcc.mspx
