NAME¶

semanage-permissive - SELinux Policy Management permissive mapping tool

SYNOPSIS¶

semanage permissive [-h] [-n] [-N] [-S STORE] (--add TYPE | --delete TYPE | --deleteall | --extract | --list)

DESCRIPTION¶

semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy sources. semanage permissive adds or removes a SELinux Policy permissive module. Please note that this command can make any domain permissive, but can only remove the permissive property from domains where it was added by semanage permissive ("semanage permissive -d" can only be used on types listed as "Customized Permissive Types" by "semanage permissive -l").
