Privilege 

A privilege is used to impose restrictions on operations carried out on certain objects.

Users can only execute operations on objects if they have been granted the privileges to do so. The owner of an object receives all of the relevant privileges when the object is created. Privileges can be explicitly granted to other users. Privileges are not granted to other users implicitly.

Users who are not the owner of an object can only grant privileges to other users if they have already been granted these privileges and are allowed to pass them on, i.e. with the relevant option.
