Does SMEServer have the ability to create a group of user that have the same rights and permissions as the admin account, a bit like the Domain Admins group in the M$ environment?

Give the dungog.net "UserPanelAccess" contrib a try...

You can then give users access to various parts of Server Manager without giving the user full admin rights.

Thank but that is not what I want, I want a user group so I can easily add users to that group to become a administrator. Having to open panels for every user who has to be an admin everytime panels are added is not an otion I prefer.

This seems to be what I want, I will have a try on my testbox this weekend. Thanks.

maybe this will help:

samba-3.x.x, then you can map a SMEserver group/samba group to Microsoft Windows NT4/200x/XP groups easily (very cool).
-view current list of 'built-in' groups with: net groupmap list
-create a new group with the server-manager
-for the description put in your chosen group from the groupmap list

for more info:

man net
net groupmap

Thanks, I will have a look at this as well but I think I have already managed this by the server manager as the net groupmap list command results in the Domain Adminis group pointing to a group already created per the server-manager by me.
