DevToolsSecurity(1)                      BSD General Commands Manual                     DevToolsSecurity(1)

NAME
     DevToolsSecurity -- Change the security authorization policies for developer systems

SYNOPSIS
     DevToolsSecurity

DESCRIPTION
     This tool changes the security authorization policies for use of Apple-code-signed debugger and perfor-mance performance
     mance analysis tools on development systems.

     On normal user systems, the first time in a given login session that any such Apple-code-signed debug-ger debugger
     ger or performance analysis tools are used to examine one of the user's processes, the user is queried
     for an administator password for authorization.

     When the Xcode developer tools are installed, the post-install script automatically runs this
     DevToolsSecurity tool to change the authorization policies, such that a user who is a member of either
     the admin group or the _developer group does not need to enter an additional password to use the Apple-code-signed Applecode-signed
     code-signed debugger or performance analysis tools.

     Developers will typically not need to run this tool manually.  If for some reason it needs to be run
     manually, it can be run from the usr/bin folder inside the Xcode tools folder.  For example, if the
     Xcode tools were installed at /Developer, then the script can be run from /Developer/usr/bin/Dev-ToolsSecurity. /Developer/usr/bin/DevToolsSecurity.
