Security

Any user of the machine can run the svmon command. It uses two different mechanisms to allow two different views for a non-root user.

The following will create the views:

• When RBAC authorization is used, the user will have the same view as the root user if their role is defined with aix.system.stat authorization.
• When RBAC is not used or when the user does not have the aix.system.stat authorization, the user's reports are limited to its environment or processes.

You can view the complete details of the RBAC in Files Reference.
