NAME

profiles - print execution profiles for a user

SYNOPSIS

profiles [-l] [ user ]...

DESCRIPTION

The profiles command prints on standard output the names of the
execution profiles that have been assigned to you or to the
optionally-specified user or role name. Profiles are a bundling
mechanism used to enumerate 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(5).


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(5). If any default profile is defined in
/etc/security/policy.conf (see policy.conf(5)), the list of default
profiles are added to the list loaded from user_attr(5). Matching
entries in prof_attr(5) provide the authorizations list, and matching
entries in exec_attr(5) provide the commands list.
