Add a new user account with admin access on Linux

To add a new user account with admin access on Linux, use the useradd command followed by the -G option and the group name “sudo” or “admin”. For example:

sudo useradd -m -G sudo newuser

This will create a new user named “newuser” and add them to the “sudo” group, giving them admin access. Next, set a password for the new user:

sudo passwd newuser

You can also use the adduser command instead of useradd.

sudo adduser --ingroup sudo newuser

This will add the user to the sudo group and also prompt you to set a password for the new user.
