Sudo Module
Overview
The Sudo module allows for a single account (called the "sudo key")
to execute dispatchable functions that require a Root
call
or designate a new account to replace them as the sudo key.
Only one account can be the sudo key at a time.
Interface
Dispatchable Functions
Only the sudo key can call the dispatchable functions from the Sudo module.
sudo
- Make aRoot
call to a dispatchable function.set_key
- Assign a new account to be the sudo key.
Usage
Executing Privileged Functions
The Sudo module itself is not intended to be used within other modules.
Instead, you can build "privileged functions" (i.e. functions that require Root
origin) in other modules.
You can execute these privileged functions by calling sudo
with the sudo key account.
Privileged functions cannot be directly executed via an extrinsic.
Learn more about privileged functions and Root
origin in the Origin
type documentation.
Simple Code Snippet
This is an example of a module that exposes a privileged function:
use ;
use ensure_root;
decl_module!
}
Genesis Config
The Sudo module depends on the GenesisConfig
.
You need to set an initial superuser account as the sudo key
.
