# Sudo Module
- [`sudo::Trait`](https://docs.rs/pallet-sudo/latest/pallet_sudo/trait.Trait.html)
- [`Call`](https://docs.rs/pallet-sudo/latest/pallet_sudo/enum.Call.html)
## Overview
The Sudo module allows for a single account (called the "sudo key")
to execute dispatchable functions that require a `Root` call
or designate a new account to replace them as the sudo key.
Only one account can be the sudo key at a time.
## Interface
### Dispatchable Functions
Only the sudo key can call the dispatchable functions from the Sudo module.
* `sudo` - Make a `Root` call to a dispatchable function.
* `set_key` - Assign a new account to be the sudo key.
## Usage
### Executing Privileged Functions
The Sudo module itself is not intended to be used within other modules.
Instead, you can build "privileged functions" (i.e. functions that require `Root` origin) in other modules.
You can execute these privileged functions by calling `sudo` with the sudo key account.
Privileged functions cannot be directly executed via an extrinsic.
Learn more about privileged functions and `Root` origin in the [`Origin`] type documentation.
### Simple Code Snippet
This is an example of a module that exposes a privileged function:
```rust
use frame_support::{decl_module, dispatch};
use frame_system::ensure_root;
pub trait Config: frame_system::Config {}
decl_module! {
pub struct Module<T: Config> for enum Call where origin: T::Origin {
#[weight = 0]
pub fn privileged_function(origin) -> dispatch::DispatchResult {
ensure_root(origin)?;
// do something...
Ok(())
}
}
}
```
## Genesis Config
The Sudo module depends on the [`GenesisConfig`](https://docs.rs/pallet-sudo/latest/pallet_sudo/struct.GenesisConfig.html).
You need to set an initial superuser account as the sudo `key`.
