The difference between the sudo user and the root user is that the root user has id 0, has unlimited to the system, and can modify ANY file on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a sudo user and granting privileges is a straightforward process.

To check this you can execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# cat \/etc\/passwd | grep developer<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should receive the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">developer:x:1000:1000:RoseHosting Developer,,,:\/home\/developer:\/bin\/bash<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Adding-User-to-Sudo-group\"><\/span>Step 3. Adding User to Sudo group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is to add the User to a sudo group. This way, we are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-create-users-and-manage-their-sudo-privileges-on-ubuntu\/\">granting privileges<\/a> to normal users with root privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">usermod -aG sudo developer<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the developer user is added to the sudo group, we will test with real examples. First, switch to the developer user with the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">su - developer\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command prompt should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# su - developer\nTo run a command as administrator (user \"root\"), use \"sudo <command>\".\nSee \"man sudo_root\" for details.\n\ndeveloper@host:~$\n<\/command><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we can test the sudo user with the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo ls -alh \/root<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to enter the password for the <b>developer<\/b> user<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">developer@host:~$ sudo ls -alh \/root\/\n[sudo] password for developer:<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the password is entered, you will see the content of the \/root directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# su - developer\ndeveloper@host:~$ sudo ls -alh \/root\/\n[sudo] password for developer:\ntotal 40K\ndrwx------  4 root root 4.0K Feb 10 16:36 .\ndrwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4.0K Feb 10 16:35 ..\n-rw-------  1 root root  412 Feb 15 06:10 .bash_history\n-rw-r--r--  1 root root   57 Feb 10 16:35 .bash_profile\n-rw-r--r--  1 root root 3.1K Dec  5  2019 .bashrc\ndrwx------  2 root root 4.0K May 11  2020 .cache\n-rw-r--r--  1 root root  161 Dec  5  2019 .profile\ndrwx------  2 root root 4.0K Feb 10 16:35 .ssh\n-rw-------  1 root root 3.4K Jul 30  2022 .viminfo\n-rw-r--r--  1 root root  174 Feb 10 16:35 .wget-hsts<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you will be able to modify any file on the system since the user developer is added to the sudo group. Let&#8217;s execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo cat \/etc\/sudoers<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be able to see the content of the sudoers file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">#\n# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.\n#\n# Please consider adding local content in \/etc\/sudoers.d\/ instead of\n# directly modifying this file.\n#\n# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.\n#\nDefaults        env_reset\nDefaults        mail_badpass\nDefaults        secure_path=\"\/usr\/local\/sbin:\/usr\/local\/bin:\/usr\/sbin:\/usr\/bin:\/sbin:\/bin:\/snap\/bin\"\nDefaults        use_pty\n\n# This preserves proxy settings from user environments of root\n# equivalent users (group sudo)\n#Defaults:%sudo env_keep += \"http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy all_proxy no_proxy\"\n\n# This allows running arbitrary commands, but so does ALL, and it means\n# different sudoers have their choice of editor respected.\n#Defaults:%sudo env_keep += \"EDITOR\"\n\n# Completely harmless preservation of a user preference.\n#Defaults:%sudo env_keep += \"GREP_COLOR\"\n\n# While you shouldn't normally run git as root, you need to with etckeeper\n#Defaults:%sudo env_keep += \"GIT_AUTHOR_* GIT_COMMITTER_*\"\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.\n\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This time the password was not required since we already entered it once, and this is proof that this <b>developer<\/b> user has root privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it.
