sudo ??- groups and users

[Database Administrator]

Well I wrote an application that I wanted members of a group to
execute. This is how it's setup

login 'miket' is in users and 'smappusers' groups and has sudo su
permissions
four users are also in 'users' and 'smappusers' groups.

Because I didn't want the 'smappusers' to have access to all my
scripts, I had a login and directory created for ' appuser'. In this
directory I have a local application that calls on files and a sql
located in 'miket' directory.

I want the 'smappusers' group to run certain scripts located in
'miket' directory called from the application sitting in 'appuser'
directory . I believe that allowing them sudo rights would allow
this.

Does this sound correct?

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

With sudo you can give users or groups root access to run what ever
commands/programs/scripts you want.

So you should be able to give members of the smappusers group
premission to run these scripts as root and only these scripts.

Thanks

Can only a user with root access setup sudo permissions.

Yes, unless you have allowed with sudo, others.
