23,932 PointsHow can we setup sudo users?
First, great video! It would be nice if it shows how to setup who has sudo users. Is there a lesson on this?

".
I'm not aware of a lesson, but you can find information on configuration online, such as this documentation page. You can also get configuration information directly in the console by using the command: "man sudoers
".
