{code}
{ ElevateAccess access; }
{code}
 won't work because that is a RAII pattern and when the instance goes out of scope the privileges are revoked. The better option is to pass {{0}} for the privilege bitmask if privileges aren't needed. Does this happen when running as root or not as root or in both cases?

> Traffic Manager aborts since it cannot elevate access in mgmt/Rollback.cc and mgmt/LocalManager.cc. The root of the issue might be that the semantics of the ElevateAccess constructor argument was changed from (boolean,level) to just a (level) by commit 6a5f6241 or TS-306. It seems the ElevateAccess access( <boolean-expression> ) calls in these two files were not changed.
