Configuring an AD Sudo Group - SomethingGeneric/sparkle.local GitHub Wiki

Creating a "Linux-Admins" AD Security Group

In order to create a new AD Security group, I used Server Manager on Mgmt01 to open Active Directory Users and Computers. From here I selected "Users" and created a new Global Security Group called linux-admins.

From here I then added the sparkle-adm user to the linux-admins Security Group in order to verify the linux-admins group's ability to sudo in a later test.

Modifying the Sudoers file on Util

For this task, I decided to use our Util system to demonstrate the ability for the linux-admins group to sudo into root as this system was already joined to the domain.

(For more information on setup, please refer to the documentation here)

Once logged in as a sudo user, I then proceeded to used the visudo command to modify the /etc/sudoers file in order to enable users in the linux-admins group to sudo into root.
