I did not drop the 7-day requirement; I haven't edited the config (and
I'm on the road right now).

I also have no idea why the privs are what they are, honestly.  I think
they sort of accreted over time.  I wouldn't mind a complete "reset", if
there is a way to do it, but I think part of the issue is that we
started with a very old version and upgraded several times which might
have changed or lost the standard configs.
