You can also give a user the ability to sudo without having to edit the /etc/sudoers file:

sudo adduser username admin

By the way, sudo visudo is preferable to a manual sudo texteditorofchoice /etc/sudoers, since sudo visudo will check the syntax of the file and not allow you to save it if there’s bad syntax.
