syntax I stopped in my tracks at implémentent.

Thanks to all. I think I'll have to ask the client (who's away right now), especially as the syntax of the sentence itself is weird.

power user ID

Perhaps? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_user

Another possibility is that this is related to a software feature, e.g., "Power LogOn" (see http://paralegaltoday.com/reviews/2007/nd07_Power-LogOn.htm ).

User Account

I think one administrator can set up other administrator accounts at the domain level (which have less powers than they do- a sort of sub administrator), which is why the definition in brackets is confusing

windows suggest that you only use your 'Administrators' account to make the settings then revert to using a standard 'user' account for day to day dealings.

neutral cc in nyc : A "user account" is a "compte d'utilisateur," not (IMO) a "compte à pouvoir"; see http://www.microsoft.com/language/en-us/Search.aspx?sString=...

Sorry......a little change in spelling
Authentification service
Note from asker:
Pooja, you were right first time! The spelling "authetification" is French (I keep making the mistake myself). Thanks anyway.
Peer comment(s):

neutral cc in nyc : "Authentication service" sounds like "service d'authentification"; see http://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Search.aspx?sString=...
