How to allow a user to run doas?

To allow a user to run doas, you need to configure the /etc/doas.conf file. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the Configuration File: You need superuser privileges to edit the doas.conf file. Use a text editor to open it:

    sudo nano /etc/doas.conf
  2. Add Permit Rules: To allow a specific user to run commands with doas, add a line in the following format:

    permit user_name as root

    Replace user_name with the actual username you want to grant access to. This line allows the specified user to execute commands as the root user.

  3. Allow Group Access (Optional): If you want to allow all users in a specific group (e.g., wheel) to use doas, you can add:

    permit :wheel
  4. Save and Exit: After making your changes, save the file and exit the text editor.

  5. 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.
