You can run this command to fix this.
echo "$USER ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | sudo tee "/private/etc/sudoers.d/dockutil"
Could we get this issue fixed the workaround is not a good thing to do. @kcrawford
Use a script to do this admin is not needed
This should be fixed in 3.1.1. Please test and confirm here if you can. Thanks for reporting the issue.
When running dockutil 3.0.2 on macOS 12.4 as a non-admin user with --add or --remove, an error of:
<username> is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
To aid in troubleshooting, adding a relatively-harmless temporary sudoers entry of:
<username> ALL=() NOPASSWD: /bin/ls
and then re-running dockutil as \<username> provides greater insight:
Sorry, user <username> is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/defaults import /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist -' as <username> on <hostname>.local.
My conclusion is that sudo is being used when not required ie when a user is trying to edit their own com.apple.dock.plist file.
As a temporary work-around, adding a sudoers file eg /private/etc/sudoers.d/dockutil as:
ALL ALL=() NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/defaults
allows dockutil to operate as expected, however I believe this work-around should not be required.
