Adding a host using a sudo user

Last published : Jul 03, 2026
Luminos allows you to manage and add hosts using a sudo user. For this to work, the user must be configured with the NOPASSWD option.
On every InfoScale cluster node, perform the following steps to configure the user:
  1. Open the sudoers configuration file: sudo visudo
  2. Append this line to the very bottom of the file, replacing username with your specific user: username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Luminos supports two main host types:
  1. Cluster hosts
  2. Standalone hosts
