To give root permission to a user in Linux, you must use the sudo command. This command allows a user to temporarily gain root privileges to perform certain tasks. To do this, open a terminal window and enter the command “sudo -u username command”. Replace “username” with the username of the user you want to give root permissions to, and “command” with the command you want them to run. For example, to give root permission to a user named “bob” to run the command “ls -l”, you would enter the command “sudo -u bob ls -l”.
