Before starting with Resource Control (RES) module administration, your should read the RES description.

RES administration only changes the res_min and res_max attributes of files and the res_role, res_min and res_max attribute of users. This can either be done with rsbac_fd_menu and rsbac_user_menu or with the command line tools attr_get_file_dir, attr_set_file_dir, attr_get_user and attr_set_user.

The res_role value determines user access to both attributes: normal users have no access, system admins have read access and security officer has full access.

Example to set max number of processes for user joe:

attr_set_user RES joe res_max nproc 100

List known resources:

attr_get_user -R
