seusers(5)                                      SELinux configuration                                      seusers(5)



NAME
       seusers - The SELinux GNU/Linux user to SELinux user mapping configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The  seusers file contains a list GNU/Linux user to SELinux user mapping for use by SELinux-aware login appli‐
       cations such as PAM(8).

       selinux_usersconf_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default SELinux  users  mapping
       file is located at:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/seusers

       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).

       getseuserbyname(3) reads this file to map a GNU/Linux user or group to an SELinux user.

FILE FORMAT
       Each line of the seusers configuration file consists of the following:

              [%group_id]|[user_id]:seuser_id[:range]

       Where:
              group_id|user_id
                     The  GNU/Linux user id, or if preceded by the percentage (%) symbol, then a GNU/Linux group id.
                     An optional entry set to __default__ can be provided as a fall back if required.
              seuser_id
                     The SELinux  user identity.
              range
                     The optional level or range for an MLS/MCS policy.

EXAMPLE
       # ./seusers
       system_u:system_u:s0-s15:c0.c255
       root:root:s0-s15:c0.c255
       fred:user_u:s0
       __default__:user_u:s0
       %user_group:user_u:s0
