SuperSU: Root Access Management Tool

SuperSU is a 'root access management' tool for Android devices. It allows advanced users to grant or deny root permissions to apps and processes.

What is SuperSU?

SuperSU is an application for rooted Android devices that provides enhanced control over which apps are allowed 'root' access. Root access allows apps to access protected system files and make changes at the deepest system level.

When an app requests root access, SuperSU prompts the user with a dialog asking if they want to approve or deny the request. This gives users more control over which apps can obtain root privileges.

Key features of SuperSU include:

  • Granular management of root access permissions per app
  • Logging of root requests for tracking and auditing
  • Profiles for automatic responses to repeat root requests
  • Password protection of SuperSU settings
  • Temporary unroot option without fully unrooting device

For advanced Android users and developers, SuperSU provides important safeguards to regulate root access. It minimize security risks from apps that seek unnecessary system-level permissions.
