command line utility to change rights on a local account

[SImon]

Hello,

I have existing local accounts already set up on my
windows XP desktops. I now need to make these existing
accounts "power users". I would like to use a command line
utility to do this so that I can create a batch file to
run it.

Is there a command line utility that will let me change
rights on existing users?

to add users to a group, type
net localgroup "power users" user1 user2 user3 /add
and replace user1, user2, user3, etc. with actual account names.

get info about changing user permissions by typing
help cacls
