Before I get into this, allow me to add a disclaimer: I don't know whyTake a look at the sudo command. Use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers. If they want to be root, simply copy the line for root onto the next line, and insert their name instead (note you can limit what they can do as root too).
this person wants to do this, I have advised them against it, I have told

do it anyway.

This person wants to give their user account root privileges. I've never
encountered a need to do that, so I have no idea how it would be done.
usermod -G root doesn't seem to do the trick. Anyone have any
suggestions?
