7 <para>This parameter controls whether or not smbd will honor
8 privileges assigned to specific SIDs via either <command>net rpc rights</command>
9 or one of the Windows user and group manager tools. This parameter is
10 disabled by default to prevent members of the Domain Admins group from
11 being able to assign privileges to users or groups which can then result in certain
12 smbd operations running as root that would normally run under the context
13 of the connected user. </para>
15 <para>An example of how privileges can be used is to assign
16 the right to join clients to a Samba controlled domain without
17 providing root access to the server via smbd.</para>
19 <para>Please read the extended description provided in the
20 Samba documentation.</para>
