Hi, Yungui,

Does this mean if a guy has a license for carrying a pistol, he
automatically CAN gain access to weapons of mass destruction, WMD?

-OR-

Does a field support guy who is authorized to change the datafill of a
single mobile node, automatically has the authorization to REBOOT the
whole BOX.

Similarly, in order for a MAG to have the capabilities to delete
thousands of sessions in a single message needs an additional
authorization.

Hope these examples help us realize the difference in the two cases.


Regards,
Ahmad
