Hello,

As admin with root rights, to execute any command from another user without password-ask, I do : su - <user> -c "<cmd>"

But how can I do to give the same rights to another physical user without using root user ? :confused:

I've try to create another user "toor" with the same primary and secondary groups than root user but the password is asked each time...

Thanks.

Sudo Manual

for RBAC you use this link
