Recently I held a lecture in my local communitiy group about building composite (no-code) bussiness solutions on Sharepoint. Since this type of solutions are particullary interesting to SharePoint  power users, I took some time to determine who can be a power user. It seems to me that the definiton of a power user has been pretty streched and that today everybody with full rights is regarded as a power user. I think this is wrong and potentially dangerous. For me users need to earn the right to become a power user. This means that they should go through detail training about SharePoint and work some time with experianced SharePoint users till they get enough experiance. Another aspect is that they should also have little more insight into bussiness process inside their firm/department/team. This can make them power users that are able to use SharePoint as a powerfull tool to help their organization.
What are your thoughts on this?
I agree, cerification is a good way to check you users knowledge.
