Can we create multiple users with same UID?

* Can we create multiple users with same UID?
* Can we give root permissions to normal user like admin.s ? If YES give me full details (syntax of sudo/RBAC)

Multiple users with same UID is not possible. However, you could add multiple users to a particular group and change the permissions accordingly.
Code:
 man group

should give you a better idea.

You can give multiple users sudo permissions ...
Code:
man sudo

should give you the initial help you want.

add new user using usradd admin . and after that in /etc/passwd file change its uid to root's uid .

It is not just the PLEASE. Is the whole question attitude:

1- No please... or hello, presentation anything,

2- No introduction on OS version, platform, etc... so we have to guess?

3- "f YES give me full details (syntax of sudo/RBAC)", This phrase talk by itself

4- And this is the most important one... you are not even trying... have you read about sudo/rbac? have you tried any configuration? have you faced any wall? Did you get any errors? if yes, which ones? If you already search on google... what did you find so we know where you are...

Last one... a comment like "suggestions are welcome", "help would be appreciated" "if you can point me in the right direction" would be more than nice as well....
