At the moment it is possible to gain root access to the device using devel-su. However in order to allow a bash script to du things with root power I am looking for a 'sudo' like solution. Is there something like this possible? And if yes, how exactly?

You have to get them from mer-tools:
devel-su
ssu ar mer-tools
pkcon refresh
pkcon install sudo
Unfortunately sudo is not working out of the box :(
I had to make a link to get visudo working because environment varible for editor is not in correct directory:
devel-su
ln /bin/vi /usr/bin/vi
Then it is possible to add nemo as sudoer by 'visudo' :or an other editor of you choice (e.g. nano):
nemo ALL=(ALL) ALL
Maybe someone has the same problem, sudo is not working out of the box :(

Hi @SaimenSays, thanks for your investigation. :) I added your description directly to the answer. Ciao jukey

I am unsure of what EDITOR means. If possible, could you please kindly give the full (non-intrusive) string to add nemo to the sudoers file? thank you in advance.
