 AUTHS 1 "Mar 25, 2004"
 NAME
auths - print authorizations granted to a user
 SYNOPSIS

auths [ user ]...


 DESCRIPTION

The auths command prints on standard output the authorizations that you
or the optionally-specified user or role have been granted. Authorizations are
rights that are checked by certain privileged programs to determine whether a
user may execute restricted functionality.

Each user may have zero or more authorizations. Authorizations are represented
by fully-qualified names, which identify the organization that created the
authorization and the functionality that it controls. Following the Java
convention, the hierarchical components of an authorization are separated by
dots (.), starting with the reverse order Internet domain name of the
creating organization, and ending with the specific function within a class of
authorizations.

An asterisk (*) indicates all authorizations in a class.

A user's authorizations are looked up in user_attr(4) and in the
/etc/security/policy.conf file (see policy.conf(4)). Authorizations
may be specified directly in user_attr(4) or indirectly through
prof_attr(4). Authorizations may also be assigned to every user in the
system directly as default authorizations or indirectly as default profiles in
the /etc/security/policy.conf file.
 EXAMPLES

Example 1 Sample output

The auths output has the following form:

example% auths tester01 tester02
tester01 : solaris.system.date,solaris.jobs.admin
tester02 : solaris.system.*
example%


Notice that there is no space after the comma separating the authorization
names in tester01.

 EXIT STATUS

0
