The Root Account and the 'sudo' and 'su' Commands

The Photon OS Administration Guide assumes that you are logged in to Photon OS with the root account and running commands as root.

On the minimal version, you must install sudo with tdnf if you want to use it. As an alternative to installing sudo, to run commands that require root privileges you can switch users as needed with the su command.
