In this post, we will show you how to create a sudo user in Rocky Linux 8. In this case, you will need to add a normal user to the sudo group in order to execute administrative commands. The sudo command, short for “super-user do,” is a Linux utility that allows a normal user to run any commands with unlimited privileges. The non-root users have limited interactions with an operating system environment and they can perform only user-specific tasks.
