Full Discussion: Sudo to other user
Operating Systems AIX Sudo to other user Post 302848089 by ibmtech on Wednesday 28th of August 2013 12:37:23 PM

Alright here is what I did
Code:
User_Alias JDA = rlalgudi, kwalker, ndevries, afitzpat
Runas_Alias DA = wmstst, modtst, emstst, remtst
JDA  ALL = (DA) ALL

Also, I have tried using
Code:
%wms ALL = (DA) /usr/bin/su -, where wms is the group to which User_Alias users belong to

I want to achieve all this in one command, instead of specifying the access to each user. Like it is working if I do the below
Code:
%wms ALL = /usr/bin/su - wmstst

But when I try to use Runas_Alias instead of single user I get the below.
Code:
kwalker@myaixhost:/home/kwalker:$ sudo -l
User kwalker may run the following commands on this host:
    (wmstst, modtst, emstst, remtst) ALL
kwalker@myaixhost:/home/kwalker:$ sudo su - emstst
Sorry, user kwalker is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/su - emstst' as root on myaixhost.

sbuild-adduser

SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)						   Debian sbuild						 SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)

NAME

       sbuild-adduser - add an sbuild user

SYNOPSIS

       sbuild-adduser [-h|--help | -V|--version] USER1 [USER2 [USERn...]]

DESCRIPTION

       sbuild-adduser  adds the specified users to the sbuild group, granting them the privelege to build packages with sbuild(1).  The schroot(1)
       configuration must permit the user to obtain root permissions in the chroot via the root-users and  root-groups	options  in  schroot.conf,
       because	this  is  required  to install and remove build-dependencies inside the chroot.  This is normally done using the sbuild group, but
       additional users or groups may be added in order to grant finer-grained permissions, for example to restrict individual users to particular
       chroots.

OPTIONS

   Actions
       -h, --help
	      Display this manual.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information.

   User selection
       USER   The user to be granted sbuild access.

EXAMPLES

       To allow user rleigh sbuild access:

       % sudo sbuild-adduser rleigh
