Hello,

I am attempting to setup a non privileged user account via sudo to execute
commands as another user. Here's the error I receive does any one have any
ideas on what should be added to the sudoers file.

 Sorry, user usera is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/mkdir /sft/test' as
sft on hostname
