How it works...

The privileges are simply a way to grant permissions to an entry point, which can be services to a duty, role, or even directly to a user. Typically, we only add entry points to a privilege, such as menu items. In order to grant access to the user, the system applies the access level to form controls and data sources.

Since we can't extend security privileges, we always create a new privilege. This is not a real restriction and helps enforce good practices; we can't get more granular than a privilege in terms of assigning permissions to a user. We should never over-layer (customize) an existing security privilege as there is no need to – duties and roles are extensible.
