Privilege Escalation
Some SSH credential types support privilege escalation.
Note: BeyondTrust's PowerBroker (pbrun) and Centrify's DirectAuthorize (dzdo) are proprietary root task delegation methods for Unix and Linux systems.
Tip: Scans run using su+sudo allow the user to scan with a non-privileged account and then switch to a user with sudo privileges on the remote host. This is important for locations where remote privileged login is prohibited.
Note: Scans run using sudo vs. the root user do not always return the same results because of the different environmental variables applied to the sudo user and other subtle differences. For more information, see https://www.sudo.ws/docs/man/sudo.man/.
The following table describes the additional options to configure for privilege escalation.
