Save A File Opened in VI As The Wrong User

This happens to me all the time. I login as a normal user and start editing a file using vim. After editing is done, when I try to save the file, I don't have enough permission to save the file. I have to close the file, login as root and start editing again. Below is the given error in vim:

Try the below command

:w !sudo tee %

Explanation

• :w – write
• !sudo – call shell sudo command
• tee – the output of write (:w) command is redirected using tee
• % – current file name
