= Adding a user to sudoers
[id=adding_user_to_sudoers_{context}]
One of the most common operations that administrators want to accomplish when managing `sudo` permissions is to grant a new user general `sudo` access. This is helpful if you want to give an account full administrative access to the system.

== Giving a user `sudo` privileges
On Fedora, it is the `wheel` group the user has to be added to, as this group has full admin privileges. Add a user to the group using the following command:
[subs=+quotes]
----
$ sudo usermod -aG wheel _username_
----
If adding the user to the group does not work immediately, you may have to edit the `/etc/sudoers` file to uncomment the line with the group name:
----
$ sudo visudo
...
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
...
