Been saving admin code snippets in my own org source blocks, some requiring root access. Handy for keeping tiny self-documented scripts to easily bootstrap other machines. TIL org source block's :dir argument can be used to run block as root by using tramp syntax: :dir /sudo::

As user:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  whoami
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: user

As root:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir /sudo::
  whoami
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: root
