profile to a poweruser, what security implications does
this cause?

1. You cannot copy profile to a poweruser because there is no user called
Poweruser. There is, however, a group called Power users.

2. Each user who logs on a system gets a profile. Profile holds info that is
unique for each user, like desktop, language settings etc. Profile consists
of files usually in "c:\Documents and Settings\Username". It is usually made
by copying "template" files from "c:\Documents and Settings\Default User".

3. Copying user profile does not have any security implications. It does not
place a user in any security group and it does not give or take away any
user rights.
