By default, all users and groups include an empty Privileges.Custom category. Add Boolean properties to the NI_UserCustomPrivileges standard data type in the User Manager file in the Types window to define new privileges in the category. When you add new properties to the data type, increment the version of the type to remove the modified flag and to ensure that TestStand uses the modified type instead of the default type TestStand installs.

The sequence editor and user interfaces that use the TestStand User Interface Controls do not recognize custom privileges you define. You must add code to user interfaces to handle the custom privileges you create. For example, you can add a calibration operation to the user interface where you want to define a custom privilege so only specific users can perform the operation.
