I think thank the Power Users group is a LOCAL group, i.e., it only
exists on the machine that it is created on.

You probably want another group.

| made free with Power User rights, but not explicitly defined the user.
| When User Me logs on they want to be able to get access to the Server Y.

|
| Could somebody enlighten me on how groups are handled?  Thanks
