11 staff_u is an SELinux User defined in the SELinux policy. SELinux users
12 have default roles, staff_r. The default role has a default type,
13 staff_t, associated with it.
14
15 The SELinux user will usually login to a system with a context that
16 looks like:
17
18 staff_u:staff_r:staff_t:s0 - s0:c0.c1023
19
20 Linux users are automatically assigned an SELinux users at login.
21 Login programs use the SELinux User to assign initial context to the
22 user's shell.
23
24 SELinux policy uses the context to control the user's access.
25
26 By default all users are assigned to the SELinux user via the
27 __default__ flag
28
29 On Targeted policy systems the __default__ user is assigned to the
30 unconfined_u SELinux user.
31
32 You can list all Linux User to SELinux user mapping using:
33
34 semanage login -l
35
36 If you wanted to change the default user mapping to use the staff_u
37 user, you would execute:
38
39 semanage login -m -s staff_u __default__
40
41
42 If you want to map the one Linux user (joe) to the SELinux user staff,
43 you would execute:
44
45 $ semanage login -a -s staff_u joe
46
47
48
50 The SELinux user staff_u is defined in policy as a unprivileged user.
51 SELinux prevents unprivileged users from doing administration tasks
52 without transitioning to a different role.
53
54
56 The SELinux user staff can execute sudo.
57
58 You can set up sudo to allow staff to transition to an administrative
59 domain:
60
61 Add one or more of the following record to sudoers using visudo.
62
63
64 USERNAME ALL=(ALL) ROLE=webadm_r TYPE=webadm_t COMMAND

449
450
452 Three things can happen when staff_t attempts to execute a program.
453
454 1. SELinux Policy can deny staff_t from executing the program.
455
456
457
458 2. SELinux Policy can allow staff_t to execute the program in the cur‐
459 rent user type.
460
461 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
462 staff_t can execute without transitioning:
463
464 sesearch -A -s staff_t -c file -p execute_no_trans
465
466
467
468 3. SELinux can allow staff_t to execute the program and transition to a
469 new type.
470
471 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
472 staff_t can execute and transition:
473
474 $ sesearch -A -s staff_t -c process -p transition
475
476
477
479 The SELinux process type staff_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
480 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
481 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
