User and command aliases

You can use user aliases to reference multiple users in the /etc/sudoers file. For example, you can create a user alias MANAGERS that includes userssmurf and bob as follows:

User_Alias MANAGERS = smurf,bob

You can use a command alias to group multiple commands together. For example, you can create a command alias USER_CMDS that includes the commands useradd, userdel, and usermod:

Cmnd_Alias USER_CMDS = /usr/sbin/useradd, /usr/sbin/userdel, /usr/sbin/usermod

Now you can use both aliases:

MANAGERS ALL=(ALL) USER_CMDS

to grant users smurf and bob the permission to run the commands useradd, userdel, and usermod.
