Debian Server 12 - adding user to sudoers

sudo is a command-line utility that allows trusted users to run commands as another user, by default root. This tutorial shows two ways to grant sudo privileges to a user.

  1. Step -On my VM Debian Server I had to install the sudo utility first as root user I ran
    apt install sudo
  2. Step is to add user you sudoers file. To do so you need to as root user run visudo and at the end of file add
    username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
  3. Step is to add user to the sudo group, again as root you run
    usermod -aG sudo username
  4. Step you can now check if you can use sudo command as user you created before and if you followed those steps you should be able to run commands as trusted user
