Admin Editor

The Admin Editor action, which can also be accessed from the command adminvi(1M), is a modified version of the vi(1) command. It restricts the user from executing shell commands and from writing to (saving to) any file other than the original file being edited. The Admin Editor action, which is assigned to the security administrator role by default, should be used in most cases instead of adminvi on the command line to edit or create administrative files. This is due to the fact that the Admin Editor is a wrapper for adminvi that incorporates auditing and allows an editor preference. You can assign the adminvi command to any users with the profile shell as their default if you need to provide them a text editor with the restrictions of adminvi.
