Power Users
Power Users is a system-defined group type that serves as an intermediate tier between administrators and regular users. It offers elevated permissions without granting full administrative privileges.
The Power Users group can manage access rights via the Security panel (Desktop) and Access Permissions panel (Web), which are hidden by default for regular users. This reduces Power Users' dependency on administrators for certain security tasks.
