capabilities – Manage Linux capabilities¶
Synopsis¶
This module manipulates files privileges using the Linux capabilities(7) system.
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
The capabilities system will automatically transform operators and flags into the effective set, so for example,
cap_foo=ep
will probably becomecap_foo+ep
.This module does not attempt to determine the final operator and flags to compare, so you will want to ensure that your capabilities argument matches the final capabilities.
Examples¶
- name: Set cap_sys_chroot+ep on /foo
capabilities:
path: /foo
capability: cap_sys_chroot+ep
state: present
- name: Remove cap_net_bind_service from /bar
capabilities:
path: /bar
capability: cap_net_bind_service
state: absent
