Creating a new normal user with sudo permission in Kali Linux

Creating a new normal user with sudo permission in Kali Linux

1-Create a normal user- (i.e nkumar)

• useradd -m nkumar
• # -m creates a home directory for the user.

2-Set a password for the user

• passwd nkumar

3-At this point, we have a new user account. But we might want to add our new user to the “sudoers” group, so that we can use “sudo” to do administrative actions.

• usermod -a -G sudo nkumr

4-Now we have to specify the shell for our new user. chsh command is used to change the login shell for a user.

• chsh -s /bin/bash nkumar

5-Done.
