Who and how can create users besides administrator? sciphi 10-26-2005

This may seem like a terribly basic question, but the search terms I've tried
have not given me an answer. Here's the closest thing I've found:

"In Windows 2003 Server using Active Directory, 'a department administrator
could be declared, who could create users and add computers to a domain
within their department without having administrative access the the whole
domain.'"

Now, I would like to know about a server that is not in a domain. We need
for a customer to be able to create users on this server, but without having
administrative access to this server. How can I give them enough rights to do
just that?

Thanks.

I don't think you can at the local level.

Members of the power users group can create and manage user accounts that
they create though they can not create nor manage administrator accounts.
Power users also can install a lot of software and create shares but can not
configure tcp/ip or most critical system settings like running Local
Security Policy. --- Steve
