Assigning Root, User+, and User privileges

selections that are available to users with Root privileges might not be available to
those with User+ and User privileges.
Note: User privileges are also known as normal user privileges.
The following table summarizes the Root, User+, and User privileges:

name and password as described in “Getting started” on page 32. You are now
