Linux – How to allow all users to run a given command via sudo

linuxsudo

I know how to create a command which a given user can execute via sudo. I have a given command I want to allow any user to be able to execute via sudo without entering a password. What would I put in my /etc/sudoers file in order to make that happen?

A section like this in your sudoers is probably what you want.

Cmnd_Alias NAMEOFTHIS=/usr/bin/program
ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: NAMEOFTHIS

Yes, this is possible.

In /etc/sudoers the item immediately following the equals is the user that the command will be allowed to execute as.

tom  ALL=(oracle) /bin/chown tom *

The user (tom) can type sudo -u oracle /bin/chown tom /home/oracle/oraclefile

Allow User ‘git’ to run ‘git pull’ as ‘www-data’ via sudo

You need to use full path name for 'git' command, following lines doesn't produce syntax error in visudo and works fine.

git ALL = (www-data) /usr/bin/git pull
