I'm having issue adding a new user to ubuntu core.

I use

sudo adduser --extrausers USERNAME

and successfully created a user but I cannot run any sudo command using that account.

$ sudo mkdir
[sudo] password for switchadmin:
switchadmin is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Try and use visudo and follow the instructions there. Not sure if this works tho with core. – Adathor Dec 05 '17 at 07:45
Or add the user to the sudo group: sudo adduser USERNAME sudo – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Dec 05 '17 at 07:47
