Administraatoriõigused

Administraatoriõigused, or administrator privileges, refer to a set of permissions within a computer system or network that grants a user the ability to perform system-wide tasks. These tasks typically include installing and uninstalling software, managing user accounts, changing system settings, accessing and modifying system files, and performing security-related operations. Administrators have the highest level of access and control over a system.

These rights are crucial for maintaining the security, stability, and functionality of a computer or network. By having administrator privileges, authorized individuals can ensure that software is up-to-date, viruses are removed, and unauthorized access is prevented. They can also configure system resources, manage storage, and troubleshoot problems.

In most operating systems, there is a distinction between standard user accounts and administrator accounts. Standard users have limited permissions, designed to prevent accidental damage to the system or to protect against malware. Administrator accounts are password-protected and require explicit login to utilize the full scope of their privileges. This separation of duties helps to enhance overall system security and manageability. Using administrator privileges for routine tasks is generally discouraged as it increases the risk of unintentional system changes or security vulnerabilities.
