The “right_name” string `system.login.console` is used in the mandatory WHERE clause for this table:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SELECT * FROM authdb WHERE right_name='system.login.console';

```

notes: |-
|
|
This table is from the [Mac Admins osquery extension](https://github.com/macadmins/osquery-extension).
|

The authorizationdb is a SQLite database that can be dumped out with the following Terminal command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo /usr/bin/sqlite3 /var/db/auth.db .dump
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following command generates a .plist showing the attributes of the authorizationdb configuration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
security authorizationdb read system.login.console
|
|
```
