Processes and files are labeled with an SELinux context that contains additional information, such as an SELinux user, role, type and optionally a level. When running SELinux all of this information is used to make access control decisions. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SELinux provides a combination of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Type Enforcement (TE) and optionally, Multi-Level Security (MLS) The SELinux user identity is an identity known to the policy that is authorized for a specific set of roles, and for a specific MLS/MCS range.
