# NAME
please - a tool for access elevation.
# SYNOPSIS
```
please /bin/bash
please -l [-t user]
```
# DESCRIPTION
please is a sudo clone that has regex support and a simple approach to ACL.
The aim is to allow admins to delegate accurate least privilege access with ease. There are times when what is intended to be executed can be expressed easily with a regex to expose only what is needed and nothing more.
# EXAMPLES
Run a shell as the httpd user:
```
please -t httpd /bin/bash
```
To list what you may run:
```
please -l
```
Or with `-t username` to show what another user may run. username must match the regex in a `permit=list` rule.
```
please -l -t username`
```
