System privileges can be suppressed from view using the Administrative Settings dialog. This will prevent managers from granting a privilege as well as preventing users from knowing that the privilege exists.
To suppress system privileges using the Administrative Settings dialog:
1. Select the system privilege you wish to suppress from the System Privilege Suppression list.
2. Click the Suppress button.
The Suppress button becomes disabled while the Reveal button becomes enabled when the suppressed privilege is selected in the list. This indicates that the privilege is now suppressed.
Note: If you are familiar with configuration files and variables, you may choose to suppress all system privileges and hide them in all security dialogs. Information on doing so can be found in "VTS Programmer's Guide: Suppress and Reveal System Privileges Using the SysPrivSuppress Variable".
To reveal suppressed system privileges using the Administrative Settings dialog:
1. Select the system privilege you wish to reveal from the System Privilege Suppression list
The Reveal button will become enabled if the privilege has been suppressed, whereas the Suppress button will become enabled if the privilege has been revealed.
2. Click the Reveal button.
The Reveal button becomes disabled while the Suppress button becomes enabled when the revealed privilege is selected in the list. This indicates that the privilege is now revealed.
