How to Grant Sudo Privileges in Linux

To increase the permissions of a Linux user, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to the system using the root user.
2. Show me the contents of the /etc/passwd file.
3. Create a new user with administrative privileges.
4. Add the user “newuser” to the sudo group.
5. Change the password for a new user.
6. Restart the system for the changes to take effect.

Now, the new user newuser should have been granted higher privileges and be able to perform privileged operations.
