User Commands roles(1)
NAME
roles - print roles granted to a user
SYNOPSIS
roles [ user ...]
DESCRIPTION
The command roles prints on standard output the roles that
you or the optionally-specified user have been granted.
Roles are special accounts that correspond to a functional
responsibility rather than to an actual person (referred to
as a normal user).
Each user may have zero or more roles. Roles have most of
the attributes of normal users and are identified like nor-
mal users in passwd(4) and shadow(4). Each role must have an
entry in the user_attr(4) file that identifies it as a role.
Roles can have their own authorizations and profiles. See
auths(1) and profiles(1).
Roles are not allowed to log into a system as a primary
user. Instead, a user must log in as him- or herself and
assume the role. The actions of a role are attributable to
the normal user. When auditing is enabled, the audited
events of the role contain the audit ID of the original user
who assumed the role.
A role may not assume itself or any other role. Roles are
not hierarchical. However, rights profiles (see
prof_attr(4)) are hierarchical and can be used to achieve
the same effect as hierarchical roles.
Roles must have valid passwords and one of the shells that
interprets profiles: either pfcsh, pfksh, or pfsh. See
pfexec(1).
Role assumption may be performed using su(1M), rlogin(1), or
some other service that supports the PAM_RUSER variable.
Successful assumption requires knowledge of the role's pass-
word and membership in the role. Role assignments are speci-
fied in user_attr(4).
EXAMPLES
