The root user can grant write permission of the appropriate files and directories to a non-root user. The non-root user can then create the profile. The root user can create a group for users who are authorized to create profiles, or the root user can give individual users the authority to create profiles. The following example task shows how to create a group that is authorized to create profiles.
This task assumes a basic familiarity with system commands.
You must have root authority to accomplish the following tasks.
The root user can perform the following steps to create the profilers group and give the group appropriate permissions to create a profile.
The root user created the profilers group and gave the group proper permissions to certain directories and files to create profiles.
These directories and files are the only ones in the installation root of the product to which a non-root user needs to write to create profiles.
The non-root user that belongs to the profilers group can create profiles in a directory that the non-root user owns and to which the non-root user has write permission. However, the non-root user cannot create profiles in the installation root directory of the product.
A non-root user ID can manage multiple profiles. For a given profile, have the same non-root user ID manage the entire profile.
The non-root user can use the same tasks to manage a profile that the root user uses.
