Privilege Level

Privilege levels specify the relative hierarchy among different user roles, with 0 being the lowest setting and 9 being the highest, except for system administrators who have a privilege level setting of 10 by default. These numbers are themselves arbitrary within the LMS, and are only meaningful in relation to each other.

Privilege levels work in conjunction with other access rights. For example, a user can create users only with privilege levels lower than their own. They can update the role of other users whose privilege level is lower than theirs. This prevents local administrators who have access to the User Editor from updating their role (or the role of someone who reports to them) to gain new system privileges that they should not have.
