Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

To Assign a Right to a User

The right must exist before assigning it. See "Managing Users and Rights (Tasks)" for creating a rights profile.

  1. Assume the Security Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

  2. Bring up the SMC in the desired scope and click the Users tool. Supply a password when prompted.

  3. Double-click the User Accounts tool, highlight the username, then choose Properties from the Action menu.

    Use the online help when modifying the user's security attributes.

  4. Click the Rights tab.

  5. Order the rights profiles appropriately. Move the new right above the All profile, and further up if necessary.

    When the user invokes a command or action, the profile mechanism uses the first instance of the command or action, with its security attributes. So, if two rights profiles share a command, and both are assigned to one user or role, the command in the first profile is executed, with its attendant security attributes. The same command in the second profile is not seen by the profile mechanism.

  6. Click OK when you have entered all the changes.
