Privilege (computing): Unix, Theory & Windows NT

In computing, privilege is defined as the delegation of authority to perform security-relevant functions on a computer system. A privilege allows a user to perform an action with security consequences. Examples of various privileges include the ability to create a new user, install software, or change kernel functions.

Privilege (computing) relationships Subject–Predicate–Object triples

TTTA extracted 6 structured relationships around Privilege (computing). Examples in this analysis include MS-DOS - essentially give unlimited privilege to perform any action on a file.A granted privilege exists as a result of presenting some credential to the privilege granting authority → instance of → Systems that do not implement file protection - and C → instance of → This is particularly more likely to occur in programming languages. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
