System Privileges
System privileges determine which processes the user has access to or
can invoke.
There are three privilege levels, sys0, sys1, and sys2. The privilege
level is placed into attribute 8 (the correlative attribute) of the user
item in the users file.
sys0
lowest level |
Cannot use peripheral storage devices. Cannot start or stop printers. Cannot update dictionaries, master dictionaries
or mds level files. Cannot change or display anything from the
system debugger or the FlashBASIC debugger. Commands are limited
to g,
end
and off. |
sys1 |
Uses peripheral storage devices. Cannot start or stop printers. Uses some commands, such as create-file, delete-file,
clear-file,
create-index,
clear-index
and delete-index,
but cannot access other file management commands. Cannot change or display anything from the
system debugger or the FlashBASIC debugger. Commands are limited
to g,
end
and off. Updates dictionaries and master dictionary
files, but not the mds file. |
sys2

(has no restrictions) |
