You can add permissions or functionality to a power by extending that power.
For example, to allow an assistant administrator to create a user account, you can assign either the Create User and Modify All Properties power or the Create User and Modify Limited Properties power. If you also assign the Add New User to Group power, the assistant administrator can add this new user account to a group while using the Create User wizard. In this case, the Add New User to Group power provides an additional wizard feature. The Add New User to Group power is the extension power.
Extension powers cannot add permissions or functionality by themselves. To successfully delegate a task that includes an extension power, you must assign the extension power along with the power you want to extend.
NOTE:
To successfully create a group and include the new group in an ActiveView, you must have the Add New Group to ActiveView power in the specified ActiveView. The specified ActiveView must also include the OU or built-in container that will contain the new group.
To successfully clone a group and include the new group in an ActiveView, you must have the Add Cloned Group to ActiveView power in the specified ActiveView. The specified ActiveView must also include the source group as well as the OU or built-in container that will contain the new group.
The following table lists some examples of actions that are configurable when creating a new power or modifying the properties of an existing power:
