Windows 11 will soon have a built-in sudo command designed for developers. Sudo, short for \u201csuperuser do,\u201d is widely used on Unix-based operating systems like Linux and macOS to run programs with higher security privileges or as another user. It\u2019s useful for developers wanting to test scripts, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Microsoft is using sudo inside Windows to let developers run elevated tools directly from an unelevated console session. \u201cIt is an ergonomic and familiar solution for users who want to elevate a command without having to first open a new elevated console,\u201d explains Jordi Adoumie, a product manager at Microsoft. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sudo is being tested as part of the latest Canary build of Windows 11 today, so it won\u2019t be available to regular versions of Windows 11 until later this year. Microsoft will allow the sudo command to be configured in three modes: a new window, with input disabled, and inline. The most similar mode to Linux\u2019s sudo is inline, whereas the other modes lock down things more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOver the coming months we will be working on expanding documentation for Sudo for Windows and will be sharing more details about the security implications of running sudo in the \u2018Inline\u2019 configuration,\u201d says Adoumie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Microsoft is also open-sourcing this sudo project on GitHub, and plans to share more about the plans for sudo in the coming months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
