Overview
This interface allows you to manage the sudo groups membership. The system grants users in the sudo group the permission to execute the su command, which allows a user to gain root or superuser access.
-
This interface does not grant users permission to run the
sudocommand. To grant users permission to execute thesudocommand, open the/etc/sudoersfile and uncomment the following line:%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL -
We strongly suggest that you use the
visudocommand to open the/etc/sudoersfile. Thevisudocommand opens the/etc/sudoersfile in a text editor and validates the files syntax when you save your changes. For more information about thevisudocommand, read sudo.wss Visudo Manual documentation.
This interface changes to Manage Wheel Group Users for any server not using Ubuntu for its operating system.
