Root Setup (Privilege Delegation)

Provisioning Applications require some of the scripts to be run as a super user. To do so, you must ensure that host user has root privileges. To authorize other users' root privileges, you can use the authentication utilities such as SUDO, PowerBroker, and so on. This support is offered in Cloud Control using the Privilege Delegation mechanism. Technically, Privilege Delegation is a framework that allows you to use either SUDO or PowerBroker to perform an activity with the privileges of another user (locked accounts).
