Allow for the calling of execution modules via sudo.
This module is invoked by the minion if the sudo_user minion config is present.
Example minion config:
sudo_user: saltdev
Once this setting is made, any execution module call done by the minion will be run under sudo -u <sudo_user> salt-call. For example, with the above minion config,
salt sudo_minion cmd.run 'cat /etc/sudoers'
is equivalent to
sudo -u saltdev salt-call cmd.run 'cat /etc/sudoers'
being run on sudo_minion.
Wrap a shell execution out to salt call with sudo
Example:
/etc/salt/minion
sudo_user: saltdev
salt '*' test.ping # is run as saltdev user
