Privileged commands

In VM, these commands mean only one thing to everyone. However, only a few select users are given the class that allows them to use these privileged commands.

Examples: STCP or STORE.H, SHUTDOWN, NETWORK

In a typical VM environment, these commands require a specific class, other than class G. CA Top Secret considers these commands to have implied VMPRIVilege access rights. That is, if USERA were PERMITted to the CP command SHUTDOWN, CA Top Secret makes USERA a privileged VM user--whether VM allows it or not--within the context of that command.
