Re: [SailfishDevel] Elevating process privileges?
hi, When you enable developer mode you have 'devel-su' command available. Harbour store doesn't allow apps that run as root. But openrepo's does (you can set suid bit in rpm and use standard c++ calls to to gain&drop privileges.

Hi all! Is Jolla user able to run processes that require root account? I mean something like 'nemo' is in `/etc/sudoers`. And if it is possible, how to gain privileges from C++? Is it like in Android, where I have to execute `su` command?

Re: [SailfishDevel] Elevating process privileges?
Hi Michal, Depending on what you want to do, there are several ways. Using sudo or su might be quite clumsy, especially su, where you need to have the user entering the root password. sudo can be used if you add in /etc/sudoers.d/ and install sudo, that requires mer-tools repo to be enabled IIRC. The best way to gain privileges is (in my opinion), to write a system daemon that will be invoked via DBus and runs as root. It do not mess with sudo etc, and works rather well for many cases. Example of code in https://github.com/sailfishos-patches/patchmanager/tree/master/src/daemon.
