## NAME
podman\-machine\-set - Sets a virtual machine setting
## SYNOPSIS
**podman machine set** [*options*] [*name*]
## DESCRIPTION
Sets an updatable virtual machine setting.
Options mirror values passed to `podman machine init`. Only a limited
subset can be changed after machine initialization.
## OPTIONS
#### **--rootful**=*true|false*
Whether this machine should prefer rootful (`true`) or rootless (`false`)
container execution. This option will also update the current podman
remote connection default if it is currently pointing at the specified
machine name (or `podman-machine-default` if no name is specified).
API forwarding, if available, will follow this setting.
#### **--help**
Print usage statement.
## EXAMPLES
To switch the default VM `podman-machine-default` from rootless to rootful:
```
$ podman machine set --rootful
```
or more explicitly:
```
$ podman machine set --rootful=true
```
To switch the default VM `podman-machine-default` from rootful to rootless:
```
$ podman machine set --rootful=false
```
To switch the VM `myvm` from rootless to rootful:
```
$ podman machine set --rootful myvm
```
