For other things like the systemd service and the postfix and web server configs, you need to do them as root (via sudo).
Does this mean i need to add the mailman user as a sudoer?

Hello everyone,
I'm running Ubuntu 24.10 and following the Virtualenv instructions < https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#setup-mailman-us... . When creating the mailman user per the instructions I find that the mailman user doesn't have sufficient permissions to do things later in the installation such as creating files in /etc. What steps should I take to ensure that the mailman user has the correct permissions to install the Mailman app.
We should probably cover this in the docs, but for /etc/mailman3, you should do
sudo mkdir /etc/mailman3 sudo chown mailman:mailman /etc/mailman3 sudo chmod 755 /etc/mailman3
Then you can create all the subordinate files as the mailman user. For other things like the systemd service and the postfix and web server configs, you need to do them as root (via sudo).
