20127N/A<para>

20127N/AThe GNOME Panel displays an area on your screen, which acts as a repository

20127N/Afor the main menu, application launchers, and applets.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AThe main menu items are specified by desktop files that are located in the

20127N/A<filename>/usr/share/applications</filename> directory. Applets are

20127N/Aspecified by bonobo server files located in the

20127N/A<filename>/usr/lib/bonobo/servers</filename> directory.

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AOn Solaris, the GNOME Panel is integrated with RBAC to determine which menu

20127N/Aitems, launchers, and applets are presented to the user and how they are

20127N/Aexecuted. The GNOME Panel will only make available menu items, launchers and

20127N/Aapplets that the user can run based on RBAC configuration.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20157N/ARBAC can be configured so that programs are associated with rights profiles.

20157N/AWhen a program is associated with a rights profile, the GNOME Panel verifies

20127N/Athat the user has access to the profile and will filter out any programs the

20127N/Auser cannot run.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AWhen using Trusted Extensions, different RBAC roles can be associated with each

20157N/Aworkspace by using the trusted stripe. So, the GNOME Panel automatically

20157N/Areloads the menu items, launchers and applets whenever the workspace switches

20157N/Aor whenever the user changes to a different role in the trusted stripe.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20157N/ARBAC can be configured to allow users access to a rights profile. If a program

20157N/Acan be run with a rights profile associated with the user, then the program is

20127N/Amade available to the user and is run by the GNOME Panel with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

20127N/ARBAC can be configured to allow users access to a role. If not using Trusted

20157N/AExtensions and if a program can be run with a user or role that the user can

20157N/Aassume, then the program is made available to the user and is run by the GNOME

20157N/APanel with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gksu</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

20127N/APrograms that are not explicitly assigned security attributes in Rights

20127N/AProfiles are not filtered by the GNOME panel. If using Trusted Extensions or

20127N/Aif the user's shell is a

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/Aenabled shell like

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfsh</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/Aor

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfbash</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

20127N/Athen the panel runs all programs not explicitly assigned security attributes in

20157N/Arights profiles with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

20127N/ARunning with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/Aensures that the user's profile assignments apply to all

20157N/Achild processes, as well. Users can be prevented from running programs by

20157N/Aconfiguring their rights in RBAC. For example, the "Stop" profile is one way

20157N/Ato limit users' access to programs.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20157N/AWhen processing GNOME Panel menu and launchers, the GNOME Panel determines the

20157N/Aexecutable by checking the associated application or launcher desktop file.

20157N/AThe GNOME Panel checks the executables associated with the Exec and TryExec

20157N/Akeys of the desktop file to see if they are associated with a profile. If both

20157N/Aare associated with a profile, the GNOME Panel uses the profile associated with

20180N/Athe Exec key. When processing applets, the GNOME Panel determines the

20157N/Aexecutable by checking the applet factory's bonobo server file and uses the

20157N/Avalue specified in the "location" element of the factory's bonobo server

20157N/Aconfiguration file to see if it is associated with a profile.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A<para>

20157N/ASome programs that display by default in the GNOME Panel on Oracle Solaris are

20157N/Acontrolled by rights profiles. Users or roles that are not assigned these

20157N/Arights profiles do not see these programs. These programs include:

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<listitem>brasero uses the "Desktop Removable Media User" profile.</listitem>

20127N/A</itemizedlist>

20127N/A

20900N/A<p>

20900N/AWhen not using Trusted Extensions, you can configure the GNOME Panel so that a

20900N/Arole password is required. You set up a role with a password, assign the

20900N/Arights profile (such as the "Desktop Administration" profile) to the role, and

20900N/Athen assign the role to the user. The user must assume the role to gain access

20900N/Ato the applets. RBAC can be configured to support these various configurations

20900N/Awith the

20157N/ANew packages that contain a program that requires privilege to run should add

20157N/Athe program to a rights profile. Alternatively, a new rights profile can be

20180N/Acreated by using the

20180N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>profiles</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20180N/Acommand. The use of the program can then be controlled by specifying which

20180N/Ausers or roles are assigned the profile.

20127N/A<filename>/etc/security/prof_attr</filename> files. If any of these files

20127N/Aare modified, the GNOME Panel reloads the menu items, launchers, and applets.

20180N/ASo any changes made to the RBAC configuration by the system administrator or

20180N/Aby using any editor will take effect immediately.
