    You do not have permission to su root

    "You do not have permission to su root" is an operating system error. It occurs when permissions prohibit non-root users from using the su command to gain root access. To resolve this problem, take the following action:

    1. Login to the system as the root user. (Consult a System Administrator, as necessary.)
    2. Edit the /etc/group file.
    3. Add the problem user to the system group. For example:
      • Before


        system:*:0:root

      • After


        system:*:0:root,bob

    4. Save your changes and exit the file.
    5. Test.
