HP-UX Role-Based Access Control
HP-UX Role-based Access Control (RBAC) is an alternative to the traditional
“all-or-nothing” root user model, which grants permissions to the root user for all
operations, and denies permissions to non-root users for certain operations. HP-UX
RBAC allows you to distribute administrative responsibilities by creating roles with
appropriate authorizations and assigning them to non-root users and groups.
