# Sudo (`sudo`)

!!! info
    [**Sudo**](https://www.sudo.ws) is a tool that allows a system administrator to delegate authority to users or groups.

The `sudo` section shows an indicator when user has cached passwordless permissions. This section is only displayed when you have a `sudo` command available.

## Displaying the section

Set `SPACESHIP_SUDO_SHOW` to `true` in your `.spaceshiprc.zsh`, if you need to show timestamps:

```zsh title=".spaceshiprc.zsh"
SPACESHIP_SUDO_SHOW=true
```
