Privilege

Privileges are accounts with roles.

As an example, root is a privileged account usually found in Linux. Administrator is a privilege usually found in Windows systems.

In TRASAGATE, when users access protected upstream service, they connect with the specific privilege. Users are assigned with privileges during a process called access-mapping.

Privileged accounts are very security-sensitive by nature and should be used carefully. One core functionality of privilege access management is that privileged accounts are locked down as much as possible.
