Create support accounts for users who may need to use sudo access #35

We should create separate user accounts and add these to the sudoers file so that we can better track:

This can be similar to GSTT's support accounts, e.g. GSTT\Suprt_<username>, which are used for sysadmin purposes.

I've just created the following new users, and added them to the newly-created sudoadmins user group:

I've also now added this user group to the sudoers file to enable any users in this group to run as root only, i.e. these users cannot substitute themselves as any other user.

I will send you, @dangerdika and @laurencejackson, the temporary password assigned to your admin_ accounts shortly.

Whenever you've logged in/changed your password, please test whether you can run sudo -i successfully :)
