singularity-capability - Manage Linux capabilities for users and groups

singularity capability

Capabilities allow you to have fine grained control over the permissions that
your containers need to run.

NOTE: capability add/drop commands require root to run. Granting capabilities
to users allows them to escalate privilege inside the container and will
likely give them a route to privilege escalation on the host system as well.
Do not add capabilities to users who should not have root on the host system.

-h, --help[=false] help for capability


All group commands have their own help output:
$ singularity help capability add
$ singularity capability add --help
