DESCRIPTION

       semanage  is  used  to  configure  certain  elements  of  SELinux policy without requiring
       modification to or recompilation from policy sources.   This  includes  the  mapping  from
       Linux  usernames  to  SELinux user identities (which controls the initial security context
       assigned to Linux users when they login and bounds their authorized role set) as  well  as
       security context mappings for various kinds of objects, such as network ports, interfaces,
       infiniband pkeys and endports, and nodes (hosts) as well as the file context mapping.  See
       the  EXAMPLES  section  below  for  some examples of common usage.  Note that the semanage
       login command deals with the  mapping  from  Linux  usernames  (logins)  to  SELinux  user
       identities,  while  the  semanage  user  command  deals with the mapping from SELinux user
       identities to authorized role sets.  In most cases, only the former mapping  needs  to  be
       adjusted  by  the  administrator; the latter is principally defined by the base policy and
       usually does not require modification.
