NAME

       auths - print authorizations granted to a user

SYNOPSIS

       auths [ user ]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  auths command prints on standard output the authorizations that you or the optionally-specified user or role have been granted. Autho-
       rizations 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. Authorizations are represented by fully-qualified names, which  identify  the  organization
       that  created  the  authorization  and the functionality that it controls. Following the Java convention, the hierarchical components of an
       authorization are separated by dots (.), starting with the reverse order Internet domain name of the creating organization, and ending with
       the specific function within a class of authorizations.

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

       A user's authorizations are looked up in user_attr(4) and in the /etc/security/policy.conf file (see policy.conf(4)). Authorizations may be
       specified directly in user_attr(4) or indirectly through prof_attr(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.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Sample output

	 example% auths tester01 tester02
	 tester01 : solaris.system.date,solaris.jobs.admin
	 tester02 : solaris.system.*
	 example%

       Notice that there is no space after the comma separating the authorization names in tester01.
