Hi @rajivkaushik11 ✋ Step 1: Open the sudoers file safelyThe safest way to edit the sudoers file is by using the visudo command, which checks for syntax errors before saving any changes. This prevents saving a corrupted sudoers file that could lock you out from using sudo entirely. Open a terminal on your Raspberry Pi. Step 2: Modify the sudoers fileIn the visudo editor, you'll need to add a line that specifies that your user can execute specific commands or all commands without a password. Ensure you're editing under the # User privilege specification section or at the end of the file: username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL This line allows the user to run all commands via sudo without entering a password. username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/script.py Step 3: Save and exitAfter adding the necessary line(s), save and exit the editor. If you are using visudo, it typically uses the nano editor by default: Step 4: Test your configurationTry running your Python script with sudo to see if it asks for a password: sudo python3 /path/to/script.py If the script runs without prompting for a password, your sudoers configuration is correct. Good luck! |

Body
I have problems with the root privileges of Raspberry pi 4. I execute my python script using sudo. It executes the script and reaches a function where it requires root privileges.
The python script needs to be automated and entering password each time is not possible.
I have used the following commands in the sudoers(config file of raspi4) so that it does not ask password:
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/script .These commands did not work as well.
I would like to have some suggestions on this.
