To add the user myuser to the sudoers group and configure it so that the user doesn’t get prompted for a password when executing sudo commands, follow these steps:

1. Add devel to the sudo group

Run the following command as a user with administrative privileges (or root):

This adds the myuser user to the sudo group, granting it administrative privileges.

2. Configure sudoers to disable the password prompt

Edit the sudoers file to specify that myuser can use sudo without being prompted for a password. Use visudo, which ensures the file syntax is correct before saving:

Add the following line to the file:

This line specifies that the devel user can run all commands as any user (including root) without providing a password.

3. Verify the configuration

Save and exit the visudo editor (usually by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter). To test:

1. Switch to the myuser user: su - myuser
2. Run a command with sudo: sudo whoami The output should be: root No password prompt should appear.

Notes

• Be cautious with this configuration, as it allows the myuser user to execute any command with sudo without restriction. Use it only if you trust the user and for specific use cases like automation or scripts.
• If you only want to allow specific commands to run without a password, replace ALL in the NOPASSWD directive with a list of commands. For example; myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/systemctl,/usr/bin/apt

This setup is now complete.
