How Do I Set a Sudo Privilege Escalation Account for the Managed Resource?

CBH supports adding Sudo login accounts for SSH and Telnet hosts.

Account test can be used by the O&M engineer admin_A to log in to the target host. However, account test has limited permissions. In this case, the CBH system administrator can use the sudo command to escalate the privileges of account test for O&M purpose of engineer admin_A. After the sudo privilege escalation is configured, the system automatically switches to the Sudo account login page when engineer admin_A logs in to the target host using account test. The administrator can configure a sudo privilege escalation login account as follows:

1. Choose Resource > Host.
2. Locate the row where the target host resides and click More > Add Account in the Operation column.
3. Select Sudo Login for Login Type, complete other required information, and click OK.
