.SH "DESCRIPTION"

semanage is used to configure certain elements of

SELinux policy without requiring modification to or recompilation

from policy sources.  This includes the mapping from Linux usernames

to SELinux user identities (which controls the initial security context

assigned to Linux users when they login and bounds their authorized role set)

as well as security context mappings for various kinds of objects, such

as network ports, interfaces, infiniband pkeys and endports, and nodes (hosts)

as well as the file context mapping. Note that the semanage login command deals

with the mapping from Linux usernames (logins) to SELinux user identities,

while the semanage user command deals with the mapping from SELinux

user identities to authorized role sets.  In most cases, only the

former mapping needs to be adjusted by the administrator; the latter

is principally defined by the base policy and usually does not require

modification.
