Actually, the user levels are still there.  Just not under the Control Panel interface.

Right click on the "My Computer" icon.  Select "Manage" on the drop down menu. A new windows will open.
Select "Local Users and Groups" under "System Tools".  You see "Users" and "Groups" on the right hand pane.  "Groups" still lists "Power Users" and other similar things found in NT4/2K.
Selecting "Properties" for a User will allow you to add groups it ca be a "Member Of".
Selecting "Properties" for a Group will allow you to add Users as members.
