Sample policy files

Electronic copies of the policy file samples used in each lesson are located in the /opt/quest/qpm4u/examples directory and they are reproduced for you in this section.

Lesson 1 Sample: Basic policy

#=================================================================
# Privilege Manager for Unix example configuration file
# One Identity 2013
#
# Example File : example1
#
# This file to have permissions of 600 (rw-------), and be owned by
# root.
#=================================================================
#=================================================================

dan\n",PMLESSON_USER);
print("the rights to run any command as root.\n");
print("For example, to test this enter the command pmrun whoami");
print("which will return the value root as the logged in user.");

Lesson 2 Sample: Conditional privilege
