Implementing these changes via a root user account is risky, because super users have the ability to change every aspect of a system. One mistake could have disastrous consequences or run afoul of security and compliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sudo user accounts offer privileged access to necessary parts of your system, without allowing the user to tamper with any sensitive or critical information. Creating these accounts has numerous benefits:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Permission management:<\/strong> By adding users to the sudo group, you can control which users have the ability to execute specific tasks requiring administrative privileges, allowing better management of system security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Temporary privilege elevation: <\/strong>Users can use the sudo command to temporarily run specific commands or tasks with elevated administrator privileges without having to maintain a constant administrative login.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Logging and auditing:<\/strong> The system logs each use of the sudo command, tracking which users performed what operations. This helps trace and audit system activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Granular control:<\/strong> By appropriately configuring the sudoers file, different users can be assigned different sudo privileges, allowing fine-grained control over system resources and functionality.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that it is important to manage sudo group members and their associated permissions carefully. Only trusted users should be added to the sudo group, and their privileges should be managed diligently to ensure system security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"image is-16by9\">\n<iframe class=\"has-ratio\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qmDw28xwcZk?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading1\">How to add a root user to a sudo group<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re beginning with a root user account and would like to create a sudo user out of it, follow these steps to reduce privileges and secure access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
