I use AIX 5.2 I want to allow a non-root user to do a system backup with 'mksysb' command.
I try to add 'ManageBackup' Role to that non-root user but it have an error "ksh: mksysb: 0403-006 Execute permission denied."
What should I do?

To allow a non-root user to execute root command, you can use sudo.

#[You-user]/home
#sudo -u root "mksysb_command"
