Hi,

As far as I known, you just have to add line in /etc/sudoers files like this one to allow members of a group.

## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

.

Thank you for replying.

First of all, AIX recognizes that the standard sudo package is not introduced.
Is it possible to tell me how to install the package?

You can install sudo from the AIX toolbox.

First install "DNF" (which is a newer tool like "yum")  and then use DNF to install sudo  - dnf will work out all of its dependencies.

See https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2021/05/28/dnf-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox?CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9&tab=recentcommunityblogsdashboard

However, DNF (and probably sudo) depend on having up-to-date versions of OpenSSL and OpenSSH - the native AIX packages.

A minimum is probably openssl_1.1.1.1202 but that might not be enough.
