PrivilegeManager, privmgr - privilege manager
/usr/sysadm/bin/privmgr
Managers display information about your system and provide access to
interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
system. For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add
a User Account" and "Modify a User Account."
In a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.
The Privilege Manager displays information about privileges on the
system. This information is stored on the system in the privilege(4),
defaultPrivileges(4), and privilegedUsers(4) databases.
To see the privileges associated with each task, choose "View by Task"
from the Privilege Manager menu.
Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
system.
A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys). When the
user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
system executes one or more privileged commands to perform the system
administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.
See runpriv(1M) for more information about privileged commands.
The guides available from the Privilege Manager require that the user
know the root password. The privilege management tasks are not
themselves privileges; you must be root in order to change the privilege
database.
