I have created a user and add him to the standard group. Now he cannot use software center, so I want him to stay in standard group but allow him to user software center. What is the best way to do that.

  • You will have to give him sudo permission to the user only for using the apt-get . – Pranit Bauva Aug 18 '12 at 08:37
  • Yes, but sudo will allow him to do anything, it is same as making him administrator, but i only want him to use software center – Iori Aug 18 '12 at 09:04
  • Not necessary .... there is a file (i don't remember which) which gives permission to a specific user a sudo permission for a specific thing... I will let you know once I remember it! – Pranit Bauva Aug 18 '12 at 14:11

You can specify commands, that are allowed for a user to be run as super user in /etc/sudoers file. Refer to manpage (man sudoers) for details.
