[ubuntu] User privileges command line

How do you set user privileges in command line? I added a user using adduser but how do I set his privileges now?

Thanks

Best thing to do is to add the user to groups.

Code:
useradd -G groupname username

adding to groups should solve your problem. I will be a little more specific. Being members of different groups allows you to perform different tasks. For example if you are a member of the admin group you can use sudo and administer the system.
