.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The 
.B cimauth 
command manages
read and write CIM namespace authorizations of users. The operations are
executed on the local host by submitting requests to the CIM Server.
If the value of the configuration property 
.B enableNamespaceAuthorization
is 
.B True ,
the CIM Server restricts access to namespaces based on user
authorizations configured via 
.B cimauth .
(See 
.B "cimconfig (1M)" 
for information on configuring the CIM Server.)
