# Give access to a non-root user to a root app: tcpdump exemple

## Add a capture group and add yourself to it:

    sudo groupadd pcap
    sudo usermod -a -G pcap $USER

## Next, change the group of tcpdump and set permissions:

    sudo chgrp pcap /usr/sbin/tcpdump
    sudo chmod 750 /usr/sbin/tcpdump

## Finally, use setcap to give tcpdump the necessary permissions:

    sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/sbin/tcpdump
