  How to allow to run su instantly after I added the user to the appropriate group
  
  1 answer
  
  

On my centos 7 vps server, to secure my server I disabled root login via ssh. I created a new user called erdem and login with that user via ssh. After I login via ssh with user erdem, I would like to switch to root user with su command or su -s command. When I do that I get this error:

-bash: /usr/bin/su: Permission denied

How can I give permission to user called erdem so I can switch with su or su -s command to root.

The output of ls -l /usr/bin/su:

 -rwsr-x--- 1 root wheel /usr/bin/su

I tried to add the user into wheel group but it still gives the same error.

I used bellow command

gpasswd -a erdem wheel

Solved: I needed to logout and login again.

  Error apart, what you want to obtain is more commonly done via sudo -s. Doesn’t it work for you ?

  su is also a valid means to become root, particularly if sudo is not yet installed, or the newly-created non-root user is not yet in sudoers. OP, can you please add the output of the following to your question: ls -l /usr/bin/su

  su expects the target user's password (root in this case). sudo expects the password of the user executing the command (yours). su on some systems can only be executed by users in particular groups (wheel on BSD, for example), but I'm unsure how this works on CentOS.

The permissions for su look abnormal to me. Here are the permissions I see on another CentOS machine:

-rwsr-xr-x. 1 root root 32208 Mar 14 10:37 /usr/bin/su

Note that your copy of su does not have the execute permission for users not in the wheel group, who are not already the root user.

On your system, no one will be able to su even knowing the root password if they are not in the wheel group.

  This is the traditional way. The purpose of group wheel is to be able to use su to change to root. I think the check was originally in the command, as doing it this way prevents users switching to another non-root user (with password).
