Delegation Authority in Authorizations

An authorization that ends with the suffix delegate enables a user or a role to delegate to other users any assigned authorizations that begin with the same prefix.

The solaris auth.delegate authorization enables a user or a role to delegate to other users any authorizations that the delegating users or roles are assigned. For example, a role with the solaris auth.delegate and solaris.network.wifi.wep authorizations can delegate the solaris.network.wifi.wep authorization to another user or role.
