Privilege Level   Privilege Levels allow you to specify the relative hierarchy among different user roles with 0 being the lowest setting and 9 being the highest except for System Administrators who have a privilege level setting of 10 by default. These numbers are themselves arbitrary within NetDimensions Performance, and are only meaningful in relation to each other. These privilege levels work in conjunction with other access rights. A user can make role assignment changes to users (e.g. in the User Editor) with lower privilege levels but cannot make role changes to another user whose privilege level exceeds his own. This is intended to prevent local administrators who have access to the User Editor from bumping up their role assignment (or someone who reports to them) to gain new system privileges that they should not have. For instance, a user can create users whose privilege levels are lower than his/her own or change the role of another user (again, whose privilege level is below the first users) but the new privilege level must be lower than the first user's own privilege level. This option is useful for setting up hierarchies of roles where, say Privilege Level 1 is a typical user, Privilege Level 5 is a Local Administrator and 10 is the Global Administrator.
