Sudo in this instance is an easy way to allow the user to call service without giving them root access, thus a security measure. It has nothing to do with making things more visible to the user.
- snazz 6y agoWhile you're right, this might be a reasonable compromise if you trust the person. The advantage of restricting their sudo use is to make it harder for them to accidentally mess something up, not protect against a malicious user.

- nix23 6y agoWell sudo for me has one good point, i can see witch person did something with root-rights, a bit like a lightweight auditd, but security to me really means something else, its here or its not, correctly implemented or not (in a technical and especially in the management space)
