The device/firmware decides how to define privileges and access to resources.

Great API definition. Nack  

Sorry for the late response. We agree that the current definition is vague.

What we meant is that the enforcement is done by device/FW.
We simply want to allow VF/SF to access privileged or restricted resource such as physical port counters.
So how about defining the api such that:
This knob allows the VF/SF to access restricted resource such as physical port counters.

You need to say more about the use case, I don't understand 
what you're doing.
