-su cd root Permission denied

Question

Hi Guys,

I have launched one Ubuntu container in my Docker Engine. I tried to run cd command. But it is showing the below error.

jenkins@9cb85416d91f:~$ cd /root/
-su: cd: /root/: Permission denied

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

You are trying to run your command using jenkins user. But your jenkins user does not have power to run command. So give sudo power to your jenkins user.

• Open /etc/sudoers file and write down the below line.

$ vim /etc/sudoers
jenkins   ALL:(ALL)   NOPASSWD: ALL
