       /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.

    o  You cannot assign privilege names with the /NOPRIVILEGED
       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 /AUTHPRIVILEGES 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 /AUTHPRIVILEGES qualifier.

    When you replace an image, any privileges assigned with the
    /PRIVILEGED qualifier are not repeated as Authorized Privileges.
    Also, if you use the REPLACE command with the /NOAUTHPRIVILEGES
    qualifier, the Authorized Privileges become the same as the
    Default Privileges (set using the /PRIVILEGED qualifier).

    You can specify one or more of the privilege names described in
    detail in an appendix to the OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
    (ALL is the default.)
