<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''User context''': Windows NT-based systems (including NT/2K/XP) and unixlike systems (including FreeBSD) share the concept of varying permissions between users. By default, the '''user context''' under which you run programs and manipulate files and/or directories - ie, the set of permissions that is checked before you are allowed to do so - is the one associated with your user account.<br /> <br /> In some special cases, such as by using the [[sudo]] program, it may be possible to run programs or manipulate files under a user context other than your own.<br /> <br /> [[Category:FreeBSD Terminology]]</div>
