Withdrawal of privileges

Withdrawal of privileges means temporarily or permanently removing certain rights or access someone has in a specific setting, such as a professional environment or organization. For example, a healthcare professional may lose the ability to perform certain procedures if their privileges are withdrawn due to concerns about their performance or misconduct. It's a formal action taken to protect safety, ensure standards are met, or address issues, and it can often be reversed if circumstances change or the concerns are addressed. Essentially, it’s a structured way to limit someone’s authority or access to specific functions or resources.
