Add username & group in sudoers file

Error - username is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.


Open the file /etc/sudoers, Add following line in it
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
If your username is john, the line should be
john ALL=(ALL) ALL

If you want to add whole group as sudoers.
%group-name ALL=(ALL) ALL
where % indicates the name is a group.

If your group-name is wheel, the line should be
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
