How to create a user in ubuntu with password giving all permissions ?
o create a new user in Ubuntu with a password and grant them all permissions (including administrative privileges), follow these steps:
1. Create a New User
Run the following command, replacing username
with your desired username:
sudo adduser username
- You will be prompted to enter a password and some optional details.
2. Add User to the Sudo Group
To grant full administrative permissions, add the user to the sudo
group:
sudo usermod -aG sudo username
- This allows the user to execute commands as root using
sudo
.
3. Verify the User’s Permissions
Switch to the new user:
su - username
Then check if the user can run sudo
commands:
sudo whoami
If it returns root
, the user has full administrative access.
4. (Optional) Grant Passwordless Sudo Access
If you want the user to execute sudo
commands without entering a password:
echo "username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/username
Now the user has full administrative privileges.
