What Labels Ranges Do

Label ranges set limits on:

• The labels at which hosts can send and receive information

• The labels at which processes acting on behalf of users and roles can access files and directories within file systems

• The labels at which users can allocate devices, thereby restricting the labels at which files can be written to storage media in these devices

• The labels at which users can send jobs to printers

• The labels at which users can log into workstations--in addition to the user's label range, a label range on the frame buffer may be used to restrict access

Labels are automatically assigned to email messages and printed on printer output.
