For example, a database may require direct access to a portion of the
disk at fairly low level. This is a requirement of the database engine
rather than a particular instantiation of the database client. It is
definitely *not* an authority that ordinary users should carry around.

Therefore, it's an example of an authority that might reasonably be
installed by a system administrator.
