Using ADB to grant "Superuser" permissions

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Likely only works for the Location provider set state and System setting set blocks, since the other blocks has to access features as root, i.e. depending on a ("superuser") service running as root.

The Superuser extension has to be installed:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate.ext.superuser

In the ADB shell run the following commands to grant Automate the permissions:

pm grant com.llamalab.automate.ext.superuser android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
pm grant com.llamalab.automate.ext.superuser android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
pm grant com.llamalab.automate.ext.superuser android.permission.SET_PROCESS_LIMIT

The above instructions are obsolete since version 1.19.0. Instead see:

On your website this line does not work:

adb -s <serial number> appops set com.llamalab.automate WRITE_SMS allow

I get a "adb.exe: unknown command appops" error.

Oops, it's missing an "shell" in there:

adb -s <serial number> shell appops set com.llamalab.automate WRITE_SMS allow

Needs to be added at https://llamalab.com/automate/doc/adb.html too

I'll update it for the next release.

Hey guys, I know, this conversation is old, but that doesn't work for me (OnePlus 8 Pro - Android 11).

I try to turn on the airplane mode via some flows.

I get the error "automate java.lang.illegalstateexception: Failure to bin superuser service: a rooted device is required"

Since I don't want to root my device for now, I would like to know which permission I might need to add to make it work..

Thanks for your help in advance :)

ADB wont suffice, as the block documentation say, a rooted device is required.

You can try adapting this flow which will use Quick Setting tile if you don't have permission:
