title: How to run a script as root in Jenkins?
body: <p>I need to run a shell script in Jenkins as root instead of the default user. What do I need to change?</p>
  
  <p>My sudoers file is like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code># User privilege specification
  root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
  igx     ALL=(ALL) ALL
  %wheel  ALL=(ALL) ALL
  
  # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
  # (Note that later entries override this, so you might need to move
  %sudo   ALL=(ALL) ALL
  #
  #includedir /etc/sudoers.d
  
  # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
  %admin  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
  root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
  jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ing00112/trunk/source/
  jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
  #Defaults:jenkins !requiretty
  </code></pre>
