Re: Newbie question on User Priveleges

All - Thank you for the input and I'm glad you guys could find something to
agree on :).

However, I'm in a pickle here. I have very limited experience with this
type of thing (active directory, permissions, etc.). How, exactly, do I add
a user at the client as a local admin? Does anything have to be done on the
server?

The problems on the client are broad: We added an existing a machine (from
a previous user) to the network. All the easy stuff works (email, Internet))
but the new user has no access to existing Office docs (they're all shaded in
green; the ones in black she can get to). In addition, she can no longer
perform some activities (publish from FrontPage, which I think is related to
the access issue on 'green-shaded' directories and file from the previous
user).

Again, I think I've got a very basic problem here but I'm fairly
inexperienced on this stuff. Thank you again for any help you can provide.
