SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege	Required to take ownership of an object without being granted discretionary access. This privilege allows the owner value to be set only to those values that the holder may legitimately assign as the owner of an object. User Right: Take ownership of files or other objects.
SeLoadDriverPrivilege	Required to load or unload a device driver. User Right: Load and unload device drivers.
SeSystemProfilePrivilege	Required to gather profiling information for the entire system. User Right: Profile system performance.
SeSystemtimePrivilege	Required to modify the system time. User Right: Change the system time.
