To allow a user to run doas, you need to configure the /etc/doas.conf file. Here’s how to do it:
-
Open the Configuration File: You need superuser privileges to edit the
doas.conffile. Use a text editor to open it:sudo nano /etc/doas.conf -
Add Permit Rules: To allow a specific user to run commands with
doas, add a line in the following format:permit user_name as rootReplace
user_namewith the actual username you want to grant access to. This line allows the specified user to execute commands as the root user. -
Allow Group Access (Optional): If you want to allow all users in a specific group (e.g.,
wheel) to usedoas, you can add:permit :wheel -
Save and Exit: After making your changes, save the file and exit the text editor.
-
Test the Configuration: Have the user test their access by running a command with
doas:doas command
Make sure to replace command with the actual command they want to run.
