group to give them the privileges of that group. The privileges assigned to a role
are controlled by Access Control Instructions (ACIs) placed in Access Control Lists
(ACLs). ACLs define points that need specific authorization. Generally, each
defines a distinct set of functionality for the server. ACIs define what operations
can or cannot be performed by a user, group, or IP address for that particular ACL.
You can change the default ACIs set up in the ACLs to change the privileges. You
