   7 .TH PRIVILEGES 5 "Oct 30, 2015"
   8 .SH NAME
   9 privileges \- process privilege model
  10 .SH DESCRIPTION
  11 .LP
  12 Solaris software implements a set of privileges that provide fine-grained
  13 control over the actions of processes. The possession of a certain privilege
  14 allows a process to perform a specific set of restricted operations.
  15 .sp
  16 .LP
  17 The change to a primarily privilege-based security model in the Solaris
  18 operating system gives developers an opportunity to restrict processes to those
  19 privileged operations actually needed instead of all (super-user) or no
  20 privileges (non-zero UIDs). Additionally, a set of previously unrestricted
  21 operations now requires a privilege; these privileges are dubbed the "basic"
  22 privileges and are by default given to all processes.
  23 .sp
  24 .LP
  25 Taken together, all defined privileges with the exception of the "basic"
  26 privileges compose the set of privileges that are traditionally associated with
  27 the root user. The "basic" privileges are "privileges" unprivileged processes
