How to Hide Labels From a User

Hiding labels is useful at a site where users can work at a single label only. An organization might not want regular users to see labels or to be aware of mandatory access controls. Ordinary users can then work whose desktop closely resembles the desktop on a Solaris system.

Before You Begin

You must be in the Security Administrator role in the global zone.

1. Open a Trusted Extensions toolbox in the Solaris Management Console.

   Use a toolbox of the appropriate scope. For details, see Initialize the Solaris Management Console Server in Trusted Extensions.

2. Under System Configuration, navigate to User Accounts.

   A password prompt might be displayed.

3. Type the role password.

4. Double–click the icon for the user.

5. Click the Trusted Extensions Attributes tab.

6. Choose Hide from the Label: selection list.

   This setting overrides the value of LABELVIEW in the system's policy.conf file. For details, see Default User Security Attributes in Trusted Extensions.

7. To save the changes, click OK.
