I have implemented Elastic stack on RHEL 7 but going forward the plan is to enable SUDO on Linux. Do we have a SUDO template which i can use for Elastic stack components?

sudo (superuser do) is utility in linux which control what can be executed by a non root user.  
in production environment, root is disabled and we should use our own user to perform any task.  
e..g As a elastic admin, i need to restart elasticsearch service, and that control we need to put in SUDO template so that we can control what all can be done with SUDO permission.

Oh right, I thought perhaps it was something RedHat specific.
