Configuring sudo access to users

Use this information to configure sudo access to the users who can run Cloud Application Business Insights installation.

Before you begin

If needed, create a user, and set the password to assign root privileges. Run the command as root user.

useradd <username>

Procedure

To enable sudo for the username on RHEL, add the username to the wheel group. Run the command as root user.
```
usermod -aG wheel <username>
```

As a superuser or administrator, run the visudo to edit the /etc/sudoers file. Make sure that the lines are not commented.

visudo

It opens the /etc/sudoers file in a text editor.

## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root        ALL=(ALL)       ALL
root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:EXEC:ALL

## Allows members of the 'sys' group to run networking, software,
## service management apps and more.
# %sys ALL = NETWORKING, SOFTWARE, SERVICES, STORAGE, DELEGATING, PROCESSES, LOCATE, DRIVERS

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel        ALL=(ALL)       ALL

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands without password
%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Save the file and exit.
Verify that the new user is available in wheel group with these commands:
```
grep 'wheel' /etc/group
```
The following output must appear.
```
wheel:x:10:<username>
```
Verify that the new user can run the installation of Cloud Application Business Insights as sudo by using these commands:
1. Switch to the new user.
```
su – <username>
```
2. Run the Cloud Application Business Insights installation script.
```
sudo ./install
```
