Terminology problem.  You mean Administrator user.  A "power user" is
someone who takes advantage of more obscure features and knows their
way around better than the average user.  As distinct from "guru".

I would not tolerate not having Administrator rights on an NT/2k
system either.  You can't do anything without it!

I used to work at a place where they'd locked down all the machines.
You couldn't even change the time!  Of course they weren't running NTP
or anything useful like that so the clocks were up to 20 minutes out.
Made using Outlook/Exchange to schedule meetings absolutely useless
because some people would turn up 10 minutes early, some 10 minutes
late.
