Could you also let me know the procedure for writing a script to give sudo permissions for a specific user in linux

The requirement is not clear. sudo permissions can be given at different levels. In most cases you have to modify /etc/sudoers with proper syntax to include the aliases and user details and what they are allowed to do on the system as superuser.

Check man sudoers for details

Once you know how to add one sudo user, you can write a script to add others. One might wonder why so many sudo users!

"username ALL=(ALL) ALL" syntax is correct. Did you make sure you had a "tab" and not space between username and ALL ?

Also you can check the subsequent entries on the file and see if any of them is overriding your settings.
