Linux/Unix User Guide

This guide describes how you select and use the roles you have been assigned to get privileged access to applications and network resources. If your organization has deployed Server Suite software and installed agents on Linux or UNIX computers, an administrator should have prepared your computer and any remote servers you use and assigned one or more roles with specific access rights to your account.

Intended Audience

This guide provides basic information for users of Linux and UNIX computers that have Server Suite software installed and to whom an administrator has granted specific rights and role assignments. This guide will help users understand how the Server Suite agent works, how the deployment of Server Suite software will affect their Linux or UNIX computers, and how to use rights and roles to perform privileged duties on Server Suite-managed computers.

If you are an administrator responsible for installing and configuring software or defining access rules and audit requirements, see the Unix Administrator Guide for information about how you can manage identity attributes in user and group profiles; create, manage, and assign access rights and roles; and delegate administrative tasks to other users.
