English translation:take over
Explanation:
it's quite likely there's a better way to say this (appropriate, grab, track even), but what they mean is:

the user accounts of certain users can be taken over ('hijacked' in a sense, but with permission in this case) by someone else, so that this someone else can see what happens (on the computer system) through the eyes of the user.

'List of user accounts that can be taken over'

overnemen
inherit


Explanation:
A bit of a guess without further context, but 'overgenomen gebruikers' could be the equivalent of 'inherited users'.
In your specific case, this would have to be phrased as 'inheritable users' or perhaps 'users to be inherited'.

Users will be automatically inherited from upper categories. You can add more of them by using these select boxes.
Gebruikers worden automatisch overgenomen door hogere mappen. U kunt er meer toevoegen d.m.v. deze vinkjes.

By default, the page inherits the viewers and editors of the space or page that contains the page. You can add additional users and groups to the inherited users and groups or you can remove the inherited users and groups and directly specify who can view or edit the page.

neutral  Ron Willems: without context this would absolutely be the best interpretation, but there IS a context (see those 2 sentences in parentheses), explaining what is meant here by 'over te nemen' :-)

disagree  Yasdnil1: This has a specific technical meaning which does not appear to be teh case here. It implies two classes of objects, one inheriting properties from the other.

create


Explanation:
Windows allows you to "CREATE" a number of user accounts. This allows these users to use your computer. The administrator then sets the parameters allowed.

Go to Controlpanel then user accounts... (On Windows XP)
That is my understanding of what is wanted here...
