This read-create value sets the access level granted to a community: readOnly(1), the default, for read-only access to non-administrative MIB portions; readWrite(2) for write access to non-administrative portions; or admin(3) for full read-write access including administrative (management-access-related) MIB portions. An admin reserves admin(3) for the community used by trusted management stations that need to modify SNMP access configuration itself, keeping other communities restricted to readOnly or readWrite. For example, setting rsSnmpCommunityPrivilege to readOnly(1) for a monitoring system's community ensures it can poll statistics but cannot alter any device configuration via SNMP.
