User rights management is a security feature for controlling user access to tasks that would normally be restricted to the root role. By applying security attributes, or rights, to processes and to users, the site can divide superuser privileges among several administrators. Process rights management is implemented through privileges. User rights management is implemented through rights profiles, which collect rights that are then assigned to users or to roles. User rights can also be restricted, such as for kiosks or guest users.
For a discussion of rights on kernel processes, see Process Rights Management.
For procedures to manage rights, see Chapter 3, Assigning Rights in Oracle Solaris.
