+ <para>This 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
+ disabled by default to prevent members of the Domain Admins group from
+ being able to assign privileges to user 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 controller domain without
+ providing root access to the server via smbd.</para>
+
+ <para>Please read the extended description provided in the
+ Samba documentation before enabling this option.</para>
