Once we have access control on policy itself, we may be able to provide an API where an application can toggle a boolean on itself, e.g. to perform one action with broader permissions, then switch to a tighter set of permissions. This might be implementable in a way which also prevents applications from ever gaining more permissions (via typebounds). - James -- James Morris <jmorris@xxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
