Ubuntu – Add user to group which can access network interfaces

networkinguser-management

I am currently setting up an IDS (suricata), which currently only runs as sudo due to when running as a user it cannot access/change the network interface settings.

Is there a way you add a user to a group which can access network interfaces or is there an alternative secure solution which solve my issue?

This worked for me:

sudo gpasswd -a yourusername netdev
