Sudo (which stands for “superuser do“) is a command–line utility in Unix that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user (most often the superuser, or root). Superuser privileges are necessary for many system administration tasks. The sudo command allows a system administrator to delegate authority to give certain users—or groups of users—the ability to run some commands as root or another user while logging all commands and arguments.
Sudo (substitute user do) is a Linux command used to grant a user temporary access to system files and commands with the privileges of another user, such as the root user. It allows users to run commands as if they were a different user, such as a superuser (root user) or a user with administrative privileges.
