Administration Tools for Trusted Extensions

Administration on a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions uses many of the same tools that are available in the Oracle Solaris OS. Trusted Extensions offers security-enhanced tools as well. Administration tools are available only to roles.

On a desktop system in a role workspace, you can access commands, applications, and scripts that are trusted. The following table summarizes these administrative tools. Command line tools are available on systems that are not running a desktop.
