That is correct. For example, in NT you can assign a role to a user and
make them a Print Administrator - they can stop and start queues, set
permissions and priorities and so forth, do anything to do with
printers, but they can't, say create user accounts. There is another
role, Backup Operator, who can write any file system to tape, but cannot
actually open any of those files in an application (unless they're in
another group that has permission to do so). You can have users who can
administer users, but can't reset the system time, all sorts of things
like that, it's quite fine-grained. All this was available in VMS long
before, of course, I expect NT has it because MS hired a bunch of former
DEC engineers.
Of course, Unix was developed by academics who had no concept of the
real world of business, and is woefully inadequate for anything serious,
but we're stuck with it. DEC's engineering quality was no match for
Sun's marketing. Oh well.

Apparently it's possible to seperate certain functions out on NT. I
don't
know the details since my NT knowledge is limited to setting up Oracle
Client software on it.

and the administrator account on a NT system can't do everything too?
