Metadata "sudo"

The sudo metadata escalates the rights of the current user with root privileges. Passwordless sudo for the user must be enabled.

• Type: boolean

Usage

The sudo metadata is propagated to all child actions. To run an action with root privileges, pass true to the metadata:

nikita
// Enable sudo to all child actions
.call({
  $sudo: true,}, async function() {
  // Get current user
  const {stdout} = await this.execute({
    command: 'whoami'
  })
  // Print current user
  console.log(stdout) // root
})
