My VPS has full root access, when I logged in as a normal user in the terminal and tried to switch into root user using "su -" command it returned an error. [normaluser@hostname ~]$ su - -bash: /usr/bin/su: Permission denied I' m using Normal Shell (NOT Jailed Shell), also Shell Fork Bomb Protection is disabled to troubleshoot this issue. I need to switch into root from a normal user to disable direct root access for security purposes. Please help me to fix this issue. Operating System & Version: AlmaLinux 8 cPanel & WHM Version: 110.0.5

  You must add that user to the wheel group in WHM -> Security Center -> Manage Wheel Group Users " This group controls which users can use the system's `su` utility. " After that you must log out & and log in to that user.
