Hi,
Running powertop as a confined staff_t/sysadm_t user on F20, I see the
following denial in permissive mode:

This works in unconfined_t obviously. What do you advise is the best way
forwards? To allow the read from staff_t/sysadm_t to cpu_device_t, or to
make a minimal policy around powertop (similar in the past to the iotop
policy you helped me create).
Sincerely,
