You have only three ways to make role transitions, between compatible
roles through syscalls (as rc_role_wrap) and marking the binaries with
a initial role one (change after execution) o with a forced role setup
(inherited mixed) with change after CHANGE_OWNER

We need see every attributes implicated, as user attributes, /bin/at
ones, and privs related ones.

Do you want mean in terms of ds-propery? Would could it be applied to
RC_types? For example GET_STATUS_DATA granted so READ operation,
checked and granded ss-property, checked *-property and as
GET_STATUS_DATA is granted to the rc_type to this rc_role the
ds-propery request is granted too. Do you want mean that?
