# Error Message: Must be root

## Problem:

Synk must run as root to backup or synchronize a particular file/folder.

## Try the following:

- Synk Backup: This error shouldn't ever happen with Synk Backup, as Backup always runs as root.
- Synk Standard: Select "Run as root" in the Options tab of the current script
- Synk Pro: Select "root" from the "Run as user:" popup menu in the Options tab of the current script.
