I want to give certain users on my server access to run commands as apache, but I don’t want to give them full root access.
Is there a way to allow a user to run a command similar to
sudo -u apache ...while preventing them from having root permissions?
Answer
Yes, of course, this is exactly what sudo is for. e.g.:
ajon ALL=(apache) /bin/ls
Allows the user ajon to run sudo -u apache /bin/ls.
See man sudoers.
