AppArmor profile modes¶
AppArmor profile modes determine how applications interact with system resources. You can mix enforce mode profiles and complain mode profiles in your server.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Enforce | Restricts MySQL processes according to the rules defined in the profile. Any action violating these rules is denied. |
| Complain | Allows MySQL processes to take restricted actions, but logs these actions for review. |
| Disabled | Turns off profile restrictions entirely, allowing MySQL processes to take any action without logging. |
Understanding these modes helps MySQL developers ensure that their applications can access necessary resources while maintaining system security.

| Benefit | Description |
