5. Specify the User Type selection to assign the user to a user group.

   The following table shows the groups available in the User Type selection.

   Group	Description
   Administrator	Has complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain.
   Power User	Can change many system settings and install programs that do not affect Windows system files.
   User (default)	Can operate the computer and save documents, but cannot install programs or change system settings.
   Guest	Has the same access as members of the User group by default, except for the Guest account, which is further restricted.

Repeat these steps for each user account your want to add to your configuration.
