Assigning privileges to a running process

You can use the setsecattr command to modify the privileges of a running process.

  • To update the effective privilege set associated with a process, run the following command:

    setsecattr –p eprivs=privileges pid

  • Before adding any privilege to the effective privilege set of a process, you should ensure that the privilege already exists in the maximum privilege set. To modify maximum privilege set, run the following command:

    setsecattr –p mprivs=privileges pid
