    How to: Enable a Linux user as sudoer using the command line


    Just add the user to the sudo group:
    sudo adduser sudo
    The change will take effect the next time the user logs in.
    This works because /etc/sudoers is pre-configured to grant permissions to all members of this group (You should not have to make any changes to this):
    # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
    %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    As long as you have access to a user that is in the same groups as your “original” user, you can delete the old one.
