How to determine the role of a user

[Anurup Mishra <anurupmishra1 yahoo com>]

Hi,

I am new to SELinux and recently I am able to install
Fedora Core 2 test 2 on on machine.

I want to implement a role based access control in one
of my Java Stand Alone application. 

During experimentation, when I tried to find the
context of an another user as root, I got following
message:
[root v60x-1 root]# id --context n1gsps
id: cannot display context when selinux not enabled or
when displaying the id of a different user

Now my first question is how do I figure out the role
of another user. Do I need to tweak the policy to
achieve this?? Could someone please navigate me on
this.

Second, how do I figure out the role of a user from a
Java Application. As of now I am trying id command
from java exec. Please suggest if you know any better
alternative.

warm regards,

Anurup Mishra
