English translation:configuration of privileges
Explanation:
I think this might be a get-round- presumably related to your previous question. It appears that the 'rights' in question are whether you have access to certain functionalities. A basic user (with no privileges) can still use the web site but a 'privileged' user has all the frills attached.

I don't think it has anything to do with 'rights' as used in operating systems.

Asker: Do you know for certain that 'rights' is the correct term in computer-speak? If os, I am happy to go with your suggestion but I need to be sure

Asker: I've jsut encountered this sentence: La configuration des droits est en fait l’attribution des profils. Does this shed any light on things?

Asker: I agree with you that 'rights' wouldn't be correct here. Your answer certainly makes it clear what the meaning is.

Asker: Later in the text, there is an illustration of a webpage in English and the term 'access privilege' appears which I would say equates to 'droit'. Consequently, I think your suggestion may well be the correct one

disagree  B D Finch: It may be common, but where does it relate to "droits"?//Translating should be done into one's mother tongue. English does not appear to be yours, to judge from your rather impolite response. ProZ is a forum for polite discussion including criticism.

setting permissions


Explanation:
I believe this is the term generally used by IT departments.

"NEVER will completely disallow a permission setting for a user. ... permission roles, that offer you a wide variety of options for setting permissions. ..."

Yes, it is about enabling certain users to exercise particular rights or privileges. However, I thought that setting permissions would cover this as, if you don't have the permissions to access certain aspects of the system, those rights and privileges can't be exercised. However, I am not a computer specialist and, checking refs produced by the other answers proposed, I think New Cal's and Alain's answers might be better because closer to the original.

Asker: This is a very interesting suggestion, for which I thank you. I really need to be sure that it is correct though, because it is different from the answer proposed by Alain, for example. This word 'droit' keeps cropping up...
