sudoers tag
A word in a sudoers rule, such as NOPASSWD, NOEXEC or SETENV, that changes how the listed commands run.
In more detail
NOEXEC stops an allowed program from starting other programs, which blocks shell escapes from editors and pagers. LOG_INPUT records what the user types, and SETENV lets the user keep environment variables.
