 --with-no-root-privileges. Prefix is usually ~/.macports/opt/local (must be specified with --prefix). User owns prefix. No root privileges needed. Ports requiring root privileges (new user accounts, daemons etc.) cannot be installed without a sudo. It is necessary to use a --prefix with --with-no-root-privileges as the default --prefix isn't modified from /opt/local when --with-no-root-privileges is specified.
 
 Use Case 3:
---with-shared-directory. Prefix is /opt/local. Root owns prefix but shares full read write with a macports group. All members of macports group can install all packages that only effect the /opt/local hierarchy. Root privileges only needed for installs that effect directories outside the prefix. Port maintainers are responsible for designating this with the "install.asroot" option. Drop privileges when not needed.
