NAME         top

       semanage-permissive - SELinux Policy Management permissive mapping
       tool

SYNOPSIS         top

       semanage permissive [-h] [-n] [-N] [-S STORE] (--add TYPE |
       --delete TYPE | --deleteall | --extract | --list)

DESCRIPTION         top

       semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy
       without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy
       sources.  semanage permissive adds or removes a SELinux Policy
       permissive module. Please note that this command can make any
       ___domain permissive, but can only remove the permissive property
       from domains where it was added by semanage permissive ("semanage
       permissive -d" can only be used on types listed as "Customized
       Permissive Types" by "semanage permissive -l").
