METHOD FOR DELEGATING PRIVILEGES TO A LOWER LEVEL PRIVILEGE INSTANCE BY A HIGHER LEVEL PRIVILEGE INSTANCE

摘要

A method for a higher-level privilege instance to delegate privileges to a lower-level privilege instance, through which the granting of privileges, P1, to a lower-level privilege instance in a data processing device is automatically carried out. The device is provided with functions for setting up required privileges before distribution to a user or by long distance data transmission and, hence, privileges, P1, can be provided to the lower-level privilege instance with the help of a higher-level privilege instance which has special privileges, P2, which authorize the assignment of privileges.
