privilege

A level of access to an item in an Encyclopedia volume. Users have privileges either directly or through security roles. The privileges include, for example, the ability to delete, execute, read, and write to an object. The user who develops an item and places it in the Encyclopedia volume and the administrator both have all privileges for that item. Table G-2 lists the privileges a user can be granted for each item in an Encyclopedia volume.
