Echo'ing into a file only works with root and not sudo
I have a directory /sys/class/leds/ with the file bananapro:green:usr/trigger that controls an (green) onboard led. The contents of this file just contains the modes for the led. As root, I can run echo "default-on" > /sys/class/leds/bananapro:green:usr/trigger and have the led turn on. If I try to do this from a different user, I get the following responce from bash;
bash: /sys/class/leds/bananapro:green:usr/trigger: Permission denied
I have tried also running using
sudo bash -c echo "<command>"
from the non root user (with sudo access)
Any recommendations on getting file permissions for users other than root
I do apologize in advance for my horrid formatting
permissions sudo root echo
