How to give Sudo permission to an existing user?

Post by Iqbal » 2019/11/04 15:06:52

Hello,
I want to create Sudo excess to an existing user. I found some links where it shows that adding new sudo user but not an existing user.

Would you please help me on that?

Thanks in advance

Add the user to group wheel then have them log back in again. That gives them full access to do anything so only if you really trust them!
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
