  6. Activation is only possible if the network belongs to the defining user or if the defining user is authorized to activate the network of another user. The user defining the network to be activated must at least have authorization to activate this network (see the subsection Granting Definition: Authorizing Other Users or Owners to Access a Network in the section Network Maintenance).
