ONLY SU Sudo access

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello All,

I want to create a script that will do ONLY su to any user on the server with hpadmin login using sudo. Can anyone let me know how can it do it.

How about something like this (you will have to allow this script to run as root via sudo config so it can sudo su to another userid:

HPADMINUSERS=","$(grep "^hpadmin:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f4)","
if [ -n "$1" ] && [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
    echo "$HPADMINUSERS" | grep -q ",$1,"
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
        exec sudo su "$1"
    else
        echo "cannot su: $1 is not in group hpadmin"
    fi
else
    echo "usage:  $0 userid" >&2
    exit 1
fi
