+<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
+    <p>XMPP components are used for long through &xep0114;, but are quite limited: they have a restricted access to other entities data, similar to what a client can do. This is sufficient for components like gateways, but very limiting for more complex components like a PubSub service. The goal of this XEP is to allow a component to have a "privileged" status, and access an entity data with the same privileges than the entity itself, that means send and receive IQ stanzas on its behalf.</p>
+    <p>Privileged component have numerous advantages, including:</p>
+        <ul>
+            <li>a step forward in decentralization: it is possible for a component to do tasks which were before reserved to server itself. For example, a privileged pubsub component can offer roster access model</li>
+            <li>better integration of component: a gateway can add items to an entity roster itslef</li>
+            <li>possibility to overpass a server limitation</li>
+            <li>quick development cycle: developers can implement the component they need without waiting for a new server release</li>
+            <li>server agnostic</li>
+        </ul>
+</section1>
+<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
+    <p>A privileged component can be used in two modes:</p>
+        <ul>
+            <li><strong>admin</strong> mode, where it is installed by the server administrator</li>
+            <li><strong>client</strong> mode, where it can be installed by any user</li>
+        </ul>
+    <p>In <em>admin</em> mode, the component SHOULD be able to emit IQ stanzas in the same way as any entity, including managing roster or accessing persistent storage</p>
+    <p>In <em>client</em> mode, a component MUST have an explicit autorization for any IQ namespace he wants to use. Client MUST be able to check and revoke granted permssions.</p>

+            <p>Once the component is authentified and stream is started as explained in &xep0114;, the component can request its privileged status. It do it by sending an IQ stanza with <strong>'urn:xmpp:tmp:privilege:0'</strong> namespace</p>

+        <p>Sending an IQ stanzas is done by remplacing the &IQ; with a &lt;privilege/&gt; element of namespace <strong>'urn:xmpp:tmp:privilege:0'</strong>, and including it in a global IQ stanza. The &lt;privilege/&gt; element is then similar to the IQ stanza the client would have sent. In the following example, the PubSub service want to know juliet's roster because she own a node with roster access model:</p>

+    </privilege>
+</iq>
+            ]]></example>
+
+        <p>The server then answer normaly, as it would have done with the client entity:</p>

+        <p>In <em>client</em> mode, the component is not certified by the server administrator, so the permissions MUST be <strong>explicitly</strong> allowed by the client. This is initiated by the component (it can be after an interaction with a client, like a subscription). It's done in a the same way as for <em>admin</em> mode with the following exceptions:</p>
+        <ol>
+            <li>the privilege type is <em>client</em> instead of <em>admin</em></li>
+            <li>the privilege is done per entity, so the entity MUST be specified in a 'to' attribute</li>
+            <li>permission are explicitly asked for every needed namespace</li>
+        </ol>
+        <p>Namespace permission are asked with a &lt;perm/&gt; element, which MUST contain a 'xmlns' attribute and a 'type' attribute which can be:</p>
+        <ul>
+            <li><strong>get</strong> — the component wants to send &IQ; stanza of type <em>'get'</em></li>
+            <li><strong>set</strong> — the component wants to send &IQ; stanza of type <em>'set'</em></li>
+            <li><strong>both</strong> — the component wants to send &IQ; stanza of type <em>'get'</em> and <em>'set'</em></li>
+        </ul>
+        <p>If a component want a read/write access to a client's roster (juliet) and a read only access to her pubsub, it can ask the permission like this:

+<p>Once received the permission request, the server ask to the client if it grant access to the requested permission using &xep0004;. The form SHOULD allow to fine tune the granted permissions. The server use a challenge which it MUST have generated himself.
