  • It's highly unlikely that you actually want to use root privileges in automation. For almost everything that you can do as root, there's a better way to do it. Commented Sep 16, 2017 at 3:30

Follow the steps below:

  1. Go to File -> Settings -> Project Interpreter and add a new interpreter

  2. Click on + to add a new python interpreter and then click on SSH interpreter

  3. Provide your EC2 Public DNS in HOST and ubuntu as username

  4. Click Next and add the private_key.pem file.

It looks like you can configure your python interpreter over SSH with the professional version of PyCharm.

Finally found an answer after a researching through the internet. We can have a script on remote machine as a pycharm interpreter. Create a following script on a remote machine and make sure the script is executable.

#!/bin/bash
sudo /usr/bin/python "$@"

Now change the project interpreter to point to the above script on remote machine in pycharm. Now every script you run on local machine gets executed on remote as a sudo user.
