ABSTRACT:
A method of activating a previously inactive component in a computer system is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for activating the previously inactive component and ascertaining whether there exists a first right for activating the previously inactive component. The method further includes activating the previously inactive component in accordance with the first right if the first right exists. The method additionally includes ascertaining, if there is no first right for activating the previously inactive component, whether there exists a second right for activating the previously inactive component, the second right being more restricted than the first right. Furthermore, the method includes activating the previously active component in accordance with the second right if the second right exists.
