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. Lo‐
21 gin 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 __de‐
27 fault__ flag
28
29 On Targeted policy systems the __default__ user is assigned to the un‐
30 confined_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.

265 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. staff
266 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
267 manipulate the policy and run staff with the tightest access possible.

412 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
413
414 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
415
416
417
419 The SELinux user staff_u is able execute home content files.
420
421
423 Three things can happen when staff_t attempts to execute a program.
424
425 1. SELinux Policy can deny staff_t from executing the program.
426
427
428
429 2. SELinux Policy can allow staff_t to execute the program in the cur‐
430 rent user type.
431
432 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
433 staff_t can execute without transitioning:
434
435 sesearch -A -s staff_t -c file -p execute_no_trans
436
437
438
439 3. SELinux can allow staff_t to execute the program and transition to a
440 new type.
441
442 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
443 staff_t can execute and transition:
444
445 $ sesearch -A -s staff_t -c process -p transition
446
447
448
450 The SELinux process type staff_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
451 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
452 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

634 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
635 mappings.
636
637 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
638 process type is permissive.
639
640 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
641 icy modules.
642
643 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
644
