What UNIX operating system ?
Most unix/linux use "useradd" (aix uses mkuser) to add users.
As far as different privileges are concerned, many UNIX boxes do different things. For example most have a version of Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Or there are applications where you can define who can run what as a privileged user, for example Linux usually comes with "sudo". I hope this gives you some pointers where to start.
