Morphology

nonprivileged = privileged (transparent) = non + privilege + ed

In computing contexts, 'non-' negates the adjective 'privileged' (privilege + -ed), meaning 'without special permissions'.

Etymology

Nonprivileged comes from non- 'not' and privilege 'special right', the same idea behind a 'privileged' or administrator account. So a nonprivileged user or process runs without those special rights and has only ordinary permissions.
