Package: x2goserver Severity: wishlist
Currently, only the user owning a session can suspend/terminate that session.
The super-user root should also be eligible to act on user sessions
with those commands.
This should work from any x2goserver (in a multi-node farm) and with
SQLite and PostgreSQL db backend.

We're only using single node mode, but here, terminating sessions from root works (or at least, it did last time we needed it). x2golistsessions_root | awk -F '|' '{ print $2 " " $12 "@" $8 }' # lists session-IDs followed by username@clientname x2goterminate-session $SESSIONID # this terminates the session with the named ID when called by root
Never tried suspend, but there's x2gosuspend-session which should work the same way.
So, either you missed that or your bug report should contain a few more details as to what functionality you need and what is missing, I'd say. ;-)

With the SQLite backend this surely is the case.

With PostgreSQL, you get this:
"""
x2goterminate-session mga-54-1379970522_stRTERMINAL_dp24
DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: permission denied for relation
sessions_view at /usr/share/perl5/X2Go/Server/DB/PostgreSQL.pm line 417.

"""
Nowadays, the x2gocleansessions daemon script can handle
suspend/terminate through a change in the session database.
x2goterminate-session and x2gosuspend-session should utilize this new feature.

That sounds like it makes sense. ;-) And now the bug/wishlist description is detailed enough that we'll all still remember what this was about, 6 months down the road. ;-)

Hmm, but the super user can su to the user owning the session, right?

Basically correct, but this does not help on larger setups where the
homes are on AFS or NFSv4+Krb5.
