   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.

2. View the default /etc/project file on your system.

   $ projects -l
   system
           projid : 0
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   user.root
           projid : 1
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   noproject
           projid : 2
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   default
           projid : 3
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   group.staff
           projid : 10
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 

3. Add a project with the name booksite, and assign the project to a user who is named mark with project ID number 4113.

   $ projadd -U mark -p 4113 booksite

4. View the /etc/project file again.

   $ projects -l
   system
           projid : 0
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   …
   booksite
           projid : 4113
           comment: ""
           users  : mark
           groups : (none)
           attribs:

5. Add a comment that describes the project in the comment field.

   $ projmod -c 'Book Auction Project' booksite

6. View the changes in the /etc/project file.

   $ projects -l
   system
           projid : 0
           comment: ""
           users  : (none)
           groups : (none)
           attribs: 
   …
   booksite
           projid : 4113
           comment: "Book Auction Project"
           users  : mark
           groups : (none)
           attribs:
