Role-Based Access Control
RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed by persons in particular roles. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and each role is assigned one or more privileges that are permitted to users in that role. With RBAC, security administration corresponds closely to an organization's structure.
User Privileges
Server Administrator grants different access rights based on the user's assigned group privileges. The four user privilege levels are: User, Power User, Administrator, and Elevated Administrator.
