- Assigning Roles to User Accounts
- Roles can be assigned to users only.
- To determine which roles are assigned to your user account, open a terminal window and type:
$ roles root
- To assign an existing role to a user, use the usermod command.
# usermod -R zfssnap username 
- To create and assign a role to a user, 
- use the roleadd command to create the role,
- and the usermod command to assign the role to a user.
To create a role, use either of the following two methods:
# roleadd -K profiles="System Administrator" sysadmin
# roleadd sysadmin
# rolemod -P "System Administrator" sysadmin
- To assign the role:
# usermod -R zfssnap,sysadmin username
