Bug How to create a directory inside root as different user

Hi All,

I have directory under /opt/test.
The ownership of the test directory is root:root.

I have login to the server as test user.
I need to have some script to create a directory inside /opt/test.
This script will be called as test user.

When I try to execute this script, I am getting error as Permission denied.

How I can solve this great issue.



Regards,
Kalai

SHOREWALL6-LITE-VA(5)						  [FIXME: manual]					     SHOREWALL6-LITE-VA(5)

NAME
vardir - Shorewall6 Lite file SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall6-lite/vardir DESCRIPTION
This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall6 Lite to store state information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the directory used is /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/. The file contains a single variable assignment: VARDIR=directory where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from /var/lib/shorewall6-lite to the new directory before performing a shorewall6-lite restart. Note Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in favor of specifying VARDIR in the shorewallrc file used during installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in shorewallrc, Shorewall6 Lite will create a directory under the specified path name to hold state information. Example: VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/ The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall6-lite. When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall6-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its state in the directory specified. EXAMPLE
VARDIR=/root/shorewall6 FILES
