Passwords and Power Users

[donjuan707]

Can you set up a power user and have them manage/change passwords for standard users?

In what OS, Windows Server, Linux or what? If it is Windows you simply add the user to the Account Operators group which has the following rights...

The Account Operators group grants limited account creation privileges to a user. Members of this group can create and modify most types of accounts, including those of users, local groups, and global groups, and members can log in locally to domain controllers.

Members of the Account Operators group cannot manage the Administrator user account, the user accounts of administrators, or the Administrators, Server Operators, Account Operators, Backup Operators, or Print Operators groups. Members of this group cannot modify user rights.

The Account Operators group applies to versions of the Windows Server operating system listed in the Active Directory default security groups by operating system version.
