+ # How to add allow root ssh login and remove fedora user

+ 

+ This will allow you to run ansible playbooks as the root user.

+ It also removes the fedora user so that fas_client can install sucessfully in `/home/fedora`

+ 

+ Simply add the below text in to the `User Data` field when launching an EC2 instance.

+ This appears as a text box at the bottom of the `Configure Instance` step when launching an instance.(Step 3)

+ 

+ 

+ ```

+ #!/bin/bash

+ cat /home/fedora/.ssh/authorized_keys > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

+ userdel -r fedora

+ ```

+ 

+ The script copies the public key from the fedora user and replaces the root users key with it.

+ This is the public key which is associated with the keypair selected when launching the instance.

+ It then deletes the Fedora user leaving root as the only ssh user on the instance.
