Superuser

SuperUser is an application that manages root permissions on Android devices. Its main function is to grant root privileges to applications that do not currently have authorization. It focuses on super user management, allowing the phone to obtain better permissions and improving the playability of applications. It can provide PIN protection and request timeout control. SuperUser is open source and can be built into AOSP and embedded into system settings.

Features

Root requests you can control, not just accept

Superuser focuses on the moment an app asks for root, presenting a request prompt and giving you ways to shape the decision. Alongside per-app control, it supports a request timeout and PIN protection to put an extra gate in front of high-risk actions, plus options that influence what happens by default when a request appears.

Logs and notifications that add accountability

For anyone trying to keep root use auditable, Superuser includes logging, including per-app logging, and it can show notifications that you can tailor. That combination makes it easier to review which apps have been asking for root and keep attention on the ones that matter.

Open-source roots with a permissions-model mindset

Superuser is open source, and its design also ties into Android’s permission approach by supporting a manifest-declared permission for root-requesting apps. For ROM builders, the project’s documentation calls out goals like being buildable within AOSP and embeddable into system settings.
