7,625 PointsHi Jorge! Can you tell us a little more about what you're asking?

9,330 Pointssudoers is the file that specifies which users are allowed to sudo.
You need to run sudo from an account that is Administrator of your Mac, not a regular user account. Change the association in System Preferences.
