    Question [Help]After install cPanel, normal user accoun can't use 'su -' to login in as root.

    Hello

    I hardened the SSH by disallow direct root access. To access root, I need to login with normal user account first then use command "su -" to login as root.

    However, after install cPanel, when I sent 'su -' command with normal user, it gives me "-bash: /bin/su: Permission denied"

    It seems cPanel made some changes of permission to normal user. Now I can't find a way to login as root.

    What can I do?

    Thanks for any helps!

    You probably didn't add the user to the wheel group ?
    This can be done from WHM >> Security Center >> Manage Wheel Group Users
