Description: Defines the rules this owner may act as in the current IPPM MIB instance. all(0): The owner is granted with all the rules. readonly(1): The measures (not only the metrics) allowed to this owner are setup by the manager of the point of measure. The owner can not add new measures for these metrics. The creation and the configuration of the measures corresponding to these metrics are managed by the manager of the point of measure. permanent(2): The measures (not only the metrics) allowed to this owner are determined by the manager of the point of measure. The owner can not add new measures for these metrics. The creation and the first configuration of the measures corresponding to these metrics are managed by the manager of the point of measure. The owner may modify the measures parameters of the entries of the corresponding ippmMeasureEntry which access is read-write. Typically that permits the owner to suspend the measures, to change the begin and end of the measures.

sender(3): The owner may only activate measures for theses metrics that send packets from the current point of measure. This flag is only suitable for network measures. It shall be ignored for derived metrics. receiver(2): The owner may only activate measures for theses metrics that receive packets on the current point of measure. This flag is only suitable for network measures. It shall be ignored for derived metrics. Such control increases the security. The owner may not generate packets from the probe.

report(4): The owner may setup aggregated metrics on the measures corresponding to these metrics.

alarm(5): The owner may setup alarms on the results of the measures metrics.

e.g.: if the owner Acme is granted with the metric Instantaneous- Unidirectional-Connectivity as a Receiver in the current point of measure, then Acme can not setup a Instantaneous-Unidirectional- Connectivity to another point of measure.
