An administrator protects the Encyclopedia volume against unauthorized use by password protecting user accounts, sharing files, and assigning privileges to users and groups of users to access files, folders, and channels.

Using Management Console, an administrator assigns privileges, such as Execute, to users either directly or through security roles, as shown in Figure 8‑1.

A security role is a name for a set of privilege levels. You use a security role to assign privileges to a group of users.
