PROFILES(1)PROFILES(1)NAMEprofiles - print execution profiles for a user
SYNOPSISprofiles [-l] [ user ]...
DESCRIPTION
The profiles command prints on standard output the names of the execu‐
tion profiles that have been assigned to you or to the optionally-spec‐
ified user or role name. Profiles are a bundling mechanism used to enu‐
merate the commands and authorizations needed to perform a specific
function. Along with each listed executable are the process attributes,
such as the effective user and group IDs, with which the process runs
when started by a privileged command interpreter. The profile shells
are pfcsh, pfksh, and pfexec. See the pfexec(1) man page. Profiles can
contain other profiles defined in prof_attr(4).
Multiple profiles can be combined to construct the appropriate access
control. When profiles are assigned, the authorizations are added to
the existing set. If the same command appears in multiple profiles,
the first occurrence, as determined by the ordering of the profiles, is
used for process-attribute settings. For convenience, a wild card can
be specified to match all commands.
When profiles are interpreted, the profile list is loaded from
user_attr(4). If any default profile is defined in /etc/security/pol‐
icy.conf (see policy.conf(4)), the list of default profiles are added
to the list loaded from user_attr(4). Matching entries in prof_attr(4)
provide the authorizations list, and matching entries in exec_attr(4)
provide the commands list.
