   users

   user Manage SELinux confined users (Roles and  levels  for  an  SELinux
   user)

   port Manage network port type definitions

   interface Manage network interface type definitions

   module Manage SELinux policy modules

   node Manage network node type definitions

   fcontext Manage file context mapping definitions

   boolean Manage booleans to selectively enable functionality

   permissive Manage process type enforcement mode

   dontaudit Disable/Enable dontaudit rules in policy

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,  and  nodes  (hosts)  as  well as the file
   context mapping. See the EXAMPLES section below for  some  examples  of
   common  usage.   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.
