doas (“dedicated openbsd application subexecutor”)^[3] is a program to execute commands as another user. The system administrator can configure it to give specified users privileges to execute specified commands. It is free and open-source under the ISC license^[4] and available in Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

doas was developed by Ted Unangst^[5] for OpenBSD as a simpler and safer sudo replacement.^[6]^[7] Unangst himself had issues with the default sudo config, which was his motivation to develop doas.^[3] doas was released with OpenBSD 5.8 in October 2015 replacing sudo.^[1] However, OpenBSD still provides sudo as a package.^[1]
