I'm slightly mystified as to how including the word "online" helps
here. It's unlikely that there will be an offline_backup permission,
because if the system is off-line, SQL-level permissions are
irrelevant.

Maybe LOGFILE? Only because some confusion with the LOG message level
seems possible; or confusion about whether this is a permission that
lets you log things.
