This is plain wrong. The command should be sudo <command>.
And su - is a command. ;)
The sudo command can be configured to do other things other than su - (like running a program or shell.) However, most admins just leave it to the default action.
There's really nothing wrong with that command from a technical
standpoint.
Whether someone should have access to su via sudo is another matter,
something for the admin to configure.
True. Best Security Practices....
