A security administrator for Linux systems wants to implement a mechanism that allows certain users to temporarily execute commands with elevated privileges while maintaining an audit trail. Which of the following best achieves this objective?
sudo
setuid
su
RBAC
Sudo (Superuser Do) allows users to execute specific commands with elevated privileges while maintaining detailed logs of all actions. Unlike su which switches the entire user session to root, sudo grants temporary elevated privileges only for specific commands. RBAC provides role-based permissions but lacks the command-by-command elevation with built-in auditing. Setuid allows programs to run with file owner permissions but doesn't offer the granular control and comprehensive audit trails that sudo provides for privilege escalation.
