An aspect of su that is frequently overlooked is that su provides
a mechanism to Switch User (that's what it's short for) and that
there are cases where you might want to perform an action as another
unprivileged user. On SELinux su should properly be thought of as
either a DAC tool or an I&A mechanism, depending on the needs of
the people to whom you're explaining the system.
