Adding Users to Sudoers in Linux

 

Adding Users to Sudoers in Linux

Login as root user : visudo and check wheel (group) details should be there 

## Sudoers allows particular users to run various commands as

## the root user, without needing the root password.

##

## Examples are provided at the bottom of the file for collections

## of related commands, which can then be delegated out to particular

## users or groups.

##

## This file must be edited with the 'visudo' command.

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands

%wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL

## Same thing without a password

# %wheel        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL
