Using Sudo - Policy


Common Knowledge: Pittsburgh has developed a server configuration that supports K-12 network needs. A project goal is to have a user administrator at each site responsible for creating accounts, changing passwords, changing the message of the day, etc. These functions require Sudo privileges.

Sudo allows a permitted user to perform many actions not available to regular account users. Sudo users override the file permissions set up by normal users. All site coordinators have sudo privileges.

This privilege must be used with the utmost discretion and responsibility.
