With the hope that the Ubuntu operating system would connect people across the globe. Today, Ubuntu is a popular operating system due to its ease of installation and use. This is true for both desktops and servers. In a Linux environment, there is a default user named root. This has the highest level of authority on the system. Therefore, when you install Ubuntu desktop, your access is restricted since you are not utilizing root as the default user. The word root also has several additional meanings when combined with other terms. This is one of the sources of confusion for people new to using GNU\/Linux-based operating systems. In this article, we will show you how to add user to sudoers in Ubuntu 24.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e65c9dd1a87\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e65c9dd1a87\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-add-user-to-sudoers-in-ubuntu-24-04\/#Prerequisites\" >Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-add-user-to-sudoers-in-ubuntu-24-04\/#Root-Access\" >Root Access<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-add-user-to-sudoers-in-ubuntu-24-04\/#Step-1-Update-the-System\" >Step 1.

The &#8220;root&#8221; user account on a Linux system holds full administrative control over all aspects of the system. To edit system configuration files, install new software, add user accounts, or undertake any tasks beyond your home directory, you need root access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The root account is the most privileged account and has the highest level of power, including the ability to modify the system as desired and to grant or revoke access permissions. For regular users, these abilities are not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The root user is a member of the root group, but the root group does not grant any inherent powers or privileges like the root user. This means that the permissions you get from group root are either because of group permissions on files in the root group or because of things like sudo, which may be configured to grant additional permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to add a user to have root privileges, it is highly recommended to add the user to the wheel or sudo group instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-update-the-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-1-Update-the-System\"><\/span>Step 1.

Additionally, change \u201cIP_Address\u201d and \u201cPort_Number\u201d to match your server\u2019s IP address and SSH port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check whether you have the correct Ubuntu version installed on your server with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$ lsb_release -a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get this output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>No LSB modules are available.\nDistributor ID: Ubuntu\nDescription:    Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS\nRelease:    24.04\nCodename:   noble<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-add-a-system-user\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Add-a-System-User\"><\/span>Step 2.

Add User to Sudoer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ubuntu machines, the \u201csudo\u201d group grants sudo privileges. So, to add a user to the sudo group, let&#8217;s run this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># usermod -aG sudo admins<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># gpasswd --add admins sudo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to replace &#8216;admins&#8217; with the actual username on your Ubuntu system. Additionally, when running the usermod command, make sure to use -a as the default option. If you don&#8217;t add the -a option in the usermod command above, that user is removed from all groups it was already a member of and will be only a member of the sudo group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please bear in mind that granting a user sudo privileges effectively grants them root access. This level of access should be reserved for trusted users who need higher permissions to run administrative tasks, as they will get full access to your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to using one of the commands above, you can also use visudo to add users to the sudo group. Simply run the command below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># visudo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Scroll down, then append this line below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>admins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file, but before doing so, make sure to replace &#8220;admins&#8221; with an existing system user on your Ubuntu 24.04. The NOPASSWD tag can be used to allow certain commands to be executed without prompting for the user&#8217;s password, which can be beneficial for automation like cronjobs, but may increase security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is allowing a user to run only certain commands with sudo. For example, to allow only the mkdir and rmdir commands, you would use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>admins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:\/bin\/ls,\/bin\/mkdir<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of running the visudo command above, you can also create a new file under the \/etc\/sudoers.d directory. Add the same rules that you added to the sudoers file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># echo \"admins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL\" | tee \/etc\/sudoers.d\/admins<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check your new sudoer permission, you can run the command below as the sudoer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo -l<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command above will print this message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Matching Defaults entries for master on ubuntu24:\n    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=\/usr\/local\/sbin\\:\/usr\/local\/bin\\:\/usr\/sbin\\:\/usr\/bin\\:\/sbin\\:\/bin\\:\/snap\/bin, use_pty\n\nUser admins may run the following commands on ubuntu24:\n    (ALL : ALL) ALL<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bringing-it-all-together\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bringing-it-all-together\"><\/span>Bringing it all together!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it all! You have learned how to add a user to the sudoer group to give them root privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to add a user to sudoers in Ubuntu 24.04 if you use one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/linux-vps-hosting\/\">Linux VPS Hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can simply submit a ticket to ask our expert Linux administrators to add a user to sudoers in Ubuntu 24.04 for you for free.
