Update sudoers file and grant specific root user privileges to certain users

[heyhaleema]

For importing data, data processing in the iFIND project, etc., users currently do not use their own account but instead use the hnadmin profile because it seems that is the only account that can access super-user privileges, i.e. is included in the sudoers file.

This means that if users need to run certain commands as the root user, we are less able to accurately monitor and audit user actions, resource usage, etc.

I suggest we:

• Update the sudoers file so that certain users who require super-user privileges can do so via their own user profile rather than the hnadmin user profile
• Identify which commands can/should be run by certain users, rather than only the root user, such as the data processing commands in the iFIND project

@heyhaleema I think you've solved this problem already by creating dedicated admin user accounts, can this issue be closed?

[heyhaleema]

@dangerdika Agreed! Just to recap, we've created:

• A sudoadmins group and added this to the sudoers file
• New accounts for @heyhaleema (admin_haljazzaf), @dangerdika (admin_dvilic), & @laurencejackson (admin_ljackson) and added these to the sudoadmins group
