/****
 *
 * Security is one of four possible levels: Public, PublicTitle, Confidential,
 * or Private.  The levels specify the degree of visibility a scheduled item
 * has to other users.  For an appointment, task, or event, "other users" are
 * defined as all users other than the user on whose calendar the scheduled
 * item appears.  For a meeting, "other users" are all users not on the
 * Attendees list of the meeting.
 *
 * Public security means other users can see the scheduled item and all the
 * information about the item.
 *
 * PublicTitle security means other users can see the title of the scheduled
 * item but none of the other information about the item.
 *
 * Confidential security means other users can only see that a user is
 * unavailable for the time period of a scheduled item; no other information
 * about the scheduled item is visible.  Since confidential security applies to
 * a specific time period, it is meaningful only for appointments and meetings,
 * not for tasks or events; tasks and events do not have specific time
 * components.
 *
 * Private security means other users see no information at all about a
 * scheduled item, not even that the item is scheduled.  Note that private
 * security hides a scheduled item from the ScheduleMeeting operation, q.v., so
 * that a meeting may be scheduled at the same time as a private appointment.
 * It is up to the user to handle this situation by accepting or refusing the
 * scheduled meeting.  Given the nature of private security, it does not apply
 * to meetings.  I.e., only appointments can have private security.
