10 SELinux supports Roles Based Access Control (RBAC), some Linux roles
11 are login roles, while other roles need to be transition into.
12
13 Note: Examples in this man page will use the staff_u SELinux user.
14
15 Non login roles are usually used for administrative tasks. For example,
16 tasks that require root privileges. Roles control which types a user
17 can run processes with. Roles often have default types assigned to
18 them.
19
20 The default type for the auditadm_r role is auditadm_t.
21
22 The newrole program to transition directly to this role.
23
24 newrole -r auditadm_r -t auditadm_t
25
26 sudo is the preferred method to do transition from one role to another.
27 You setup sudo to transition to auditadm_r by adding a similar line to
28 the /etc/sudoers file.
29
30 USERNAME ALL=(ALL) ROLE=auditadm_r TYPE=auditadm_t COMMAND
31
32 sudo will run COMMAND as staff_u:auditadm_r:auditadm_t:LEVEL
33
34 When using a non login role, you need to setup SELinux so that your
35 SELinux user can reach auditadm_r role.
36
37 Execute the following to see all of the assigned SELinux roles:
38
39 semanage user -l
40
41 You need to add auditadm_r to the staff_u user. You could setup the
42 staff_u user to be able to use the auditadm_r role with a command like:
43
44 $ semanage user -m -R 'staff_r system_r auditadm_r' staff_u
45
46
47
48 SELinux policy also controls which roles can transition to a different
49 role. You can list these rules using the following command.
50
51 search --role_allow
52
53 SELinux policy allows the sysadm_r, staff_r, secadm_r roles can transi‐
54 tion to the auditadm_r role.
55
56
57
59 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. audi‐
60 tadm policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
61 you to manipulate the policy and run auditadm with the tightest access
62 possible.

65
66 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
67 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
68 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
69 ean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
76 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by de‐
77 fault.
78
79 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
80
81
82
83 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
84 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
85
86 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
87
88
89
90 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
91 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
94
95
96
97 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
98 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
99 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
100 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
101 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
102
103 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

108 The SELinux process type auditadm_t can manage files labeled with the
109 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
110 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

144 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
145 mappings.
146
147 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
148 process type is permissive.
149
150 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
151 icy modules.
152
153 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
154
155
156 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
157 icy settings.
