Why, when working as root do I still need sudo in front of some commands?


Recommended Posts

I have Armbian running on an Orange Pi and I like to work by changing to su so I'm not having to constantly type sudo in front of commands when I have a lot of commands that need root privilege. However, bizzarely, sometimes I still ahve to use sudo. So for example:
 

root@orangepi5-plus:/home/Data/Mercurial_Info# usermod -a -G www-data username

bash: usermod: command not found


If I do

 

sudo usermod -a -G www-data username 

 

How can I fix this please? It's also stopping me running a script I  need that I ran on my old Banana Pi running Armbian.
