sudo su - <appid>, understanding sudo
Hi Experts,
I have to provide user sudo access to application account, my usual way is to edit sudoers with /bin/sudo su - <appid>, is this the best approach or /usr/bin/sudo -u <appid> -i
Does su mean "switch user" or "super user"

you can just vi the /etc/sudoers file and add your changes that way.
