rights

Use rights only in a nonspecific way to refer to system actions that are authorized by the system administrator. For specific references, use user rights.

Don't confuse rights, which apply to system operations, with permissions, which apply to specific system resources, such as files or printers.

Don't use privileges as a synonym for rights.

Example:

• Domain administrators should use a primary user account, which has basic user rights in the domain.

Note: Our standard message when users do not have the rights to access an area is: "Contact your system administrator to request rights to this feature."
