NAME
      roles - print roles granted to a user
 


SYNOPSIS
      roles [  user  ... ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The command roles prints on standard output the  roles  that
      you  or  the  optionally-specified  user  have been granted.
      Roles are special accounts that correspond to  a  functional
      responsibility  rather than to an actual person (referred to
      as a normal user).
 
      Each user may have zero or more roles. Roles  have  most  of
      the  attributes of normal users and are identified like nor-
      mal users in passwd(4) and shadow(4). Each role must have an
      entry in the user_attr(4) file that identifies it as a role.
      Roles can have their own authorizations  and  profiles.  See
      auths(1) and profiles(1).
 
      Roles are not allowed to log into  a  system  as  a  primary
      user.  Instead,  a  user  must  log in as him or herself and
      assume the role. The actions of a role are  attributable  to
      the  normal  user.  When  auditing  is  enabled, the audited
      events of the role contain the audit ID of the original user
      who assumed the role.
 
      Roles must have valid passwords and one of the  shells  that
      interprets  profiles:  either  pfcsh,  pfksh,  or  pfsh. See
      pfexec(1).
 
      Role assumption may be performed using su(1M), rlogin(1), or
      some  other  service  that  supports the PAM_RUSER variable.
      Successful assumption requires knowledge of the role's pass-
      word and membership in the role. Role assignments are speci-
      fied in user_attr(4).
