yes i am aware of sudo. i am using sudo in specific cases where users need to run a script or command that requires root access.however i need just 2 users to have root access "by default". i mean without using sudo. i wanted to see if there is a way to create users with root access without the need of using sudo. sudo is good but if you have users that can be trusted in using root user then sudo can be pretty annoying and frustrating.the problem is that these users are not considered as system administrators thats why i wanted to create different user than root but with root access.if sudo is the only alternative way then i guess i cannot avoid it.thank you for your help

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

sbuild-adduser

SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)						   Debian sbuild						 SBUILD-ADDUSER(8)

NAME

       sbuild-adduser - add an sbuild user

SYNOPSIS

       sbuild-adduser [-h|--help | -V|--version] USER1 [USER2 [USERn...]]

DESCRIPTION

       sbuild-adduser  adds the specified users to the sbuild group, granting them the privelege to build packages with sbuild(1).  The schroot(1)
       configuration must permit the user to obtain root permissions in the chroot via the root-users and  root-groups	options  in  schroot.conf,
       because	this  is  required  to install and remove build-dependencies inside the chroot.  This is normally done using the sbuild group, but
       additional users or groups may be added in order to grant finer-grained permissions, for example to restrict individual users to particular
       chroots.

OPTIONS

   Actions
       -h, --help
	      Display this manual.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information.

   User selection
       USER   The user to be granted sbuild access.

EXAMPLES

       To allow user rleigh sbuild access:

       % sudo sbuild-adduser rleigh
