How to Create a New User with sudo Permission in Kali Linux?

First, Right click on the Desktop, and then click on 'Open in Terminal' to Open Terminal. After that, follow the steps below:-

Step 1: Create a New Normal User by command below:-

useradd -m testuser

Step 4: Now, we have to specify the shell for our new user.

chsh -s /bin/bash testuser

It's done
