Thanks vino!

When I ran the shell with double equal signs it gave me the error below:

Code:
$ ./steve.ksh text
./steve.ksh: syntax error at line 5 : `==' unexpected

Code:
$ more steve.ksh
#! /bin/ksh

while read line
do
        if [[ "$line" == *Group* ]] ; then

        GROUP=""
        ROLE=""
        USER=""
        GROUP=${line##*=}

        elif [[ "$line" == *Role* ]] ; then
        USER=""
        ROLE=${line#*=}
        ROLE=${ROLE%% *}
        elif [[ "$line" == *User* ]] ; then
        USER=${line##*=}
        fi ;

        [[ -n $GROUP && -n $ROLE && -n $USER ]] && echo "$GROUP,$ROLE,$USER"
done < $1

But with single equal sign:
Code:
$ steve2.ksh text
G1,a1,Adam
G1,a1,Ben
G1,b1,Carl
G2,a1,Ben
G2,c1,Carl
G3,c1,Adam

Code:
$ more steve2.ksh
#! /bin/ksh

while read line
do
        if [[ "$line" = *Group* ]] ; then

        GROUP=""
        ROLE=""
        USER=""
        GROUP=${line##*=}

        elif [[ "$line" = *Role* ]] ; then
        USER=""
        ROLE=${line#*=}
        ROLE=${ROLE%% *}

        elif [[ "$line" = *User* ]] ; then
        USER=${line##*=}
        fi ;

        [[ -n $GROUP && -n $ROLE && -n $USER ]] && echo "$GROUP,$ROLE,$USER"
done < $1

runcon

RUNCON(1)							   User Commands							 RUNCON(1)

NAME

       runcon - run command with specified security context

SYNOPSIS

       runcon CONTEXT COMMAND [args]
       runcon [ -c ] [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-t TYPE] [-l RANGE] COMMAND [args]

DESCRIPTION

       Run  COMMAND  with  completely-specified  CONTEXT, or with current or transitioned security context modified by one or more of LEVEL, ROLE,
       TYPE, and USER.

       If none of -c, -t, -u, -r, or -l, is specified, the first argument is used as the complete context.  Any additional arguments after COMMAND
       are interpreted as arguments to the command.

       Note that only carefully-chosen contexts are likely to successfully run.

       Run a program in a different security context.  With neither CONTEXT nor COMMAND, print the current security context.

       CONTEXT
	      Complete security context

       -c, --compute
	      compute process transition context before modifying

       -t, --type=TYPE
	      type (for same role as parent)

       -u, --user=USER
	      user identity

       -r, --role=ROLE
	      role

       -l, --range=RANGE
	      levelrange
