I believe you would need to allow the role transition. See staff.te. The |
| 19 |
default policy seems to only allow role transitions between staff and |
| 20 |
sysadm. Rather than allowing a role transition to/from the unprivileged |
| 21 |
user_r, it would be more secure to instead grant additional privileges to an |
| 22 |
individual user, or create a new role with privileges applicable for a group |
| 23 |
of users. See staff.te for ideas on this. |
