How to run a script as root in Jenkins?

Question

I need to run a shell script in Jenkins as root instead of the default user. What do I need to change?

My sudoers file is like this:

# User privilege

@Igor Chubin's answer is 100% correct, but never open sudoer file with a normal editor. always use visudo

just type

sudo visudo

this will take you to /etc/sudoers and upon saving it will make sure that there is no error in formatting.

if you make an error in sudoer file, you will lose sudo access, so always use visudo
