Before I get into this, allow me to add a disclaimer: I don't know why this person wants to do this, I have advised them against it, I have told them it's a security risk and just general bad practice, but they want to do it anyway.
So.
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?
