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, 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.
