User Commands                                            auths(1)



NAME
     auths - print authorizations granted to a user

SYNOPSIS
     auths [ user ]...


DESCRIPTION
     The auths command prints on standard output  the  authoriza-
     tions 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.  Authoriza-
     tions  are represented by fully-qualified names, which iden-
     tify the organization that created the authorization and the
     functionality  that  it controls. Following the Java conven-
     tion, the hierarchical components of  an  authorization  are
     separated  by  dots  (.),  starting  with  the reverse order
     Internet domain name of the creating organization, and  end-
     ing  with the specific function within a class of authoriza-
     tions.


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


     A user's authorizations are looked up in userattr(4) and in
     the  /etc/security/policy.conf  file  (see  policy.conf(4)).
     Authorizations may be specified directly in userattr(4)  or
     indirectly  through profattr(4). Authorizations may also be
     assigned to every user in the  system  directly  as  default
     authorizations  or  indirectly  as  default  profiles in the
     /etc/security/policy.conf file.
