Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Have a look at sudo. I'm sure you'll find it suits your needs. Please in future when asking a question, specify what distro and version you use so that we can provide more precise help.

Looking forward to your participation in the forums. Have fun with Linux.

Kind regards,

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your quick response. Can you pls provide me the command to give user permission in suse linux version 11.

Thanks in advance

@tuladhar google about sudo you will find your answer, it is not some thing like I tell you the command and you run it on your system and get the work done, First thing is you need to understand what sudo is what it can do for you, next step would be using it for your requirements. I will try to give you short and simple explanation about what sudo is and how they can help you.

sudoers are list of users granted limited or unlimited accesses to specific host (computer). A user in sudoers list can run and execute commands and application as privileged user, thus enabling them to extend their access to system, an user in sudoers list can run all or allowed command with sudo rights which otherwise would not run as normal (unprivileged) user. so you need to learn how to grant sudo rights an user, you may take help by viewing man page for sudo
in case you are new to man page run this command on terminal
'man 5 sudoers'
press q come out of manual page.


to assign sudoers rights you will have to run 'visudo' command as root user
make sure you don't delete any line over here without knowing what it does, It is highly recomended you accuire enough knowledge before proceeding to this step.

Thank you
Pushkar

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't at my computer for some time. As already indicated by pix9, LQ isn't the place to turn to for ready made solutions or step by step guides. You will learn a great deal more when researching and trying out for yourself. When you get stuck then you turn to LQ for help. Follow the advice given by pix9, read the man pages to start with, next turn to Google for a manual and when you encounter yourself with problems or errors when applying things, don't hesitate to post here.

Kind regards,

Eric
