DESCRIPTION

46       semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy  with‐
47       out  requiring  modification  to  or recompilation from policy sources.
48       This includes the mapping from Linux usernames to SELinux user  identi‐
49       ties  (which  controls  the  initial security context assigned to Linux
50       users when they login and bounds their authorized role set) as well  as
51       security context mappings for various kinds of objects, such as network
52       ports, interfaces, infiniband pkeys and endports, and nodes (hosts)  as
53       well  as  the  file context mapping. See the EXAMPLES section below for
54       some examples of common usage.  Note that the  semanage  login  command
55       deals  with  the  mapping from Linux usernames (logins) to SELinux user
56       identities, while the semanage user command deals with the mapping from
57       SELinux  user  identities to authorized role sets.  In most cases, only
58       the former mapping needs to be adjusted by the administrator; the  lat‐
59       ter  is  principally  defined  by  the base policy and usually does not
60       require modification.
