Enable root or admin access to my server
Here's how to enable root (sudo or substitute/super user) access to your Dedicated Server. You might need this kind of access to install applications or make high-level changes to your server configuration.
- Log in to your account. (Need help logging in?)
- Under Manage Products select Manage Dedicated Servers, select the Dedicated Server you wish to use, and select Manage.
- In the account Dashboard, at the top of the page select Settings.
- In the Access section, next to Admin Access, click Manage.
- Select Enable Admin Access (root account sudo access) then click Save. In the Settings section, Admin access is now enabled.
