+<description>
+ <para>
+ This deprecated parameter controls whether or not smbd will honor privileges assigned to specific SIDs via either
+ <command>net rpc rights</command> or one of the Windows user and group manager tools. This parameter is
+ enabled by default. It can be disabled to prevent members of the Domain Admins group from being able to
+ assign privileges to users or groups which can then result in certain smbd operations running as root that
+ would normally run under the context of the connected user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ An example of how privileges can be used is to assign the right to join clients to a Samba controlled
+ domain without providing root access to the server via smbd.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Please read the extended description provided in the Samba HOWTO documentation.
