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. 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.
