How to create a new normal user with sudo permission?

 This procedure can be used in any Linux distro to add a normal user. That includes ubuntu, Linux mint, or even Centos

useradd -m username

# -m creates a home directory for the user.
# for more config option while adding user read
man useradd

Set password using passwd in order to login

passwd username


Add user to sudores so that we can use “sudo” to do administrative actions.

usermod -a -G sudo username


The option -a means to add and ‘-G sudo’ means to add the user to the sudo group. If you want to know more about the usermod command, issue man usermod command to know more about usermod
