Explanation

The Power Users group (present in older Windows versions like XP) has elevated privileges above standard users but below full Administrators. Power Users can create and manage local user accounts, share folders, and install some software. However, they cannot back up the OS/system files (requires Backup Operators or Administrators), install applications that require full administrative privileges (requires Administrators), or modify any local user account beyond ones they created (full account management requires Administrator rights). Note: In Windows Vista and later, the Power Users group was largely deprecated in favor of the standard User Account Control (UAC) elevation model.
