Which SELinux mode is reflected when SELinux does not enforce any rules or monitor actions?

In SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux), the mode where SELinux does not enforce any rules or monitor actions is referred to as the disabled mode. When SELinux is in this mode, all access control permissions are controlled solely by the traditional Unix permissions. This means that SELinux is completely turned off, and as a result, there are no access controls enforced by SELinux, making it behave just like a regular Linux system without any SELinux restrictions.

In contrast, permissive mode still allows all actions but logs denials, providing visibility into what would have been prevented if enforcing mode were active. Enforcing mode actively enforces SELinux policies and denies access based on those rules. Targeted mode is a specific policy type within SELinux but does not apply to the scenario where SELinux is not operational.

Thus, the disabled mode clearly indicates a state where SELinux does not provide any security enforcement whatsoever.
