Are you and your boss in the local Administrators group? If so, try adding the user and test. If it works, cut the user back to Power User and retry.
Cross check the Global Groups memberships between the user and yourself; maybe he's missing a group membership.
Also, welcome to TR. We have many active, reserve, and retired military members from many countries. You might want to steer clear of the political discussions, or lurk but not participate; that whole UCMJ thing, you know. Check out the FAQ and member-written New User's Guide:

Here's the 'canned' answer to questions posted as 'Discussions':
Try the "Questions" forum; the "Discussion" forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution.
Post problems such as this to the "Question" forum, rather than the "Discussion" forum. There are those who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution, and that's where they go to look for such.
Additionally there are the benefits that:
1) The "Questions" forum provides for your feedback, by way of your being able to mark "helpful" responses as such. This does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but only that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours, so that they might have a ready source of reference available, thereby perhaps obviating the need for them to repeat questions previously asked and answered.
2) The revised TR makes it quite difficult to find both "Discussions" and "Questions" that have not had a fairly recent post, owing to some functions comingling them in the listings. By keeping each type in their respective forums, it is easier for all to find what they are looking for.
