Assuming that user knows the root password:

Code:

su -

If the user does not know the root password (which is normal/advisable in production environments): Sudo needs to be set up. Have a look at these links:

Type 1 (Recommend): By adding user (in this case dummy) in /etc/sudoers file.

PHP Code:




## Allow root to run any commands anywhere 
root    ALL=(ALL)     ALL
dummy    ALL=(ALL)     ALL

Type 2: Create another root user. Although it is highly not recommended...

Code:

# id dummy

uid=505(dummy) gid=505(dummy) groups=505(dummy)



# usermod -ou 0 dummy



# id dummy

uid=0(root) gid=505(dummy) groups=0(root)
