Thread: Giving a user sudo permissions

hi,

set group of users called accesscontrol which able access users-admin command.

have set user call john member of accesscontrol group

have used visudo command add following sudoers file:

code:

%accesscontrol all=/usr/bin/users-admin

now logged in john have couple of questions:

1. when issue command
   code:

   sudo users-admin

   . user admin dialog box opens cannot unlocked allow john add user
2. when go
   code:

   system > admin > user , groups

   says john doesn't have sufficient privilages.

hints in right direction appreciated.


thanks,

nick

i keep thinking entry should

code:

%accesscontrol all=(all)  /usr/bin/users-admin

little rusty. either way can test sudo -l user see can run.
