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.
