NAME

       semanage - SELinux Policy Management tool

SYNOPSIS

       semanage {import,export,login,user,port,interface,module,node,fcontext,boolean,permissive,dontaudit}
		       ...  positional arguments:

       import Import local customizations

       export Output local customizations

       login Manage login mappings between linux users and SELinux confined users

       user Manage SELinux confined users (Roles and levels for an SELinux user)

       port Manage network port type definitions

       interface Manage network interface type definitions

       module Manage SELinux policy modules

       node Manage network node type definitions

       fcontext Manage file context mapping definitions

       boolean Manage booleans to selectively enable functionality

       permissive Manage process type enforcement mode

       dontaudit Disable/Enable dontaudit rules in policy

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 net-
       work 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.
