INSTALL, ADD, Qualifiers, /PRIVILEGED

 *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /PRIVILEGED[=(priv-name[,...])]
       /NOPRIVILEGED

    Installs the file as a known image with the active privileges
    specified.

    Usage Notes

    o  If a privileged image is not located on the system volume, the
       image is implicitly installed /OPEN.

    o  The set of privileges for a privileged image can be empty.

    o  You must list each privilege every time you define or redefine
       privileges.

    o  The /PRIVILEGED qualifier applies only to executable images.

    o  You cannot specify this qualifier for an executable image
       linked with the /TRACEBACK qualifier.

    Installing Shareable Images

    Installing an image with privileges declares that the image is
    trusted to maintain system integrity and security properly.
    To maintain that trust, any routine called by the privileged
    image must also be trusted. For this reason, any shareable images
    activated for use by a privileged image must be installed. Only
    trusted logical names (names defined in executive and kernel
    mode) can be used in locating shareable images to be used by a
    privileged image.

    Interaction of /PRIVILEGED and /AUTHPRIVILEGED Qualifiers

    When you CREATE a new entry, the privileges you assign are also
    assigned for authorized privileges if you do not assign specific
    authorized privileges with the /AUTHPRIVILEGED qualifier.
    In other words, if you assign authorized privileges using
    /AUTHPRIVILEGED, those are the privileges that appear as
    authorized privileges.

    Table of Privilege Names

    You can specify one or more of the privilege names shown in
    an appendix of the OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
