User and Group Accounts

This group is only available on Windows 2000 servers acting Domain
Controllers. It allows its members to administer user and group accounts
for systems and domains. By default, Account Operators have permission to
create, modify, and delete accounts for users, groups, and computers in all
containers and organizational units (OUs) of Active Directory except the
Builtin container and the Domain Controllers OU. Account Operators do not
have permission to modify the Administrators and Domain Admins groups, nor
do they have permission to modify the accounts for members of those groups.

Hope this helps,
