NAME

auths- print authorizations granted to a user

SYNOPSIS

auths

user

DESCRIPTION

The auths command prints on standard output the authorizations that you or the optionally-specified user or role have been granted. Authorizations are rights that are checked by certain privileged programs to determine whether a user may execute restricted functionality.

Each user may have zero or more authorizations. Authorizations are represented by fully-qualified names, which identify the organization that created the authorization and the functionality that it controls. Following the Java convention, the hierarchical components of an authorization are separated by dots (.), starting with the reverse order Internet domain name of the creating organization, and ending with the specific function within a class of authorizations.

An asterisk (*) indicates all authorizations in a class.

A user's authorizations are looked up in user_attr(4). Authorizations may be specified directly in user_attr(4) or indirectly through prof_attr(4).
