How to give a user SUDO access on a Mac and Linux computer.
truthseekers.io/the-ultimate-guide-to-linux-uni…

In this video you'll learn how to edit the /etc/sudoers file so you can run a SUDO command as your regular user.

It's important to understand how to do this, because you don't want to give everyone sudo access, and you don't want to run around in your computer as ROOT because you could destroy something important on accident.

Lastly, editing sudo permissions can be dangerous to your computer. If you're not careful, you can accidentally lose your ability to run sudo commands, and that would make it difficult to fix your computer.

So take a look at this video and learn how to properly manage SUDO access on your Linux or Macintosh (Unix) computer!
