The "sudo" command is used in Linux to execute a command with superuser privileges, allowing a permitted user to run a command as the superuser or another user, as specified by the security policy. When you encounter a "permission denied" error while trying to create a user, it typically means you need superuser (root) privileges to perform the action. Prefacing the command with "sudo" temporarily elevates your privileges for that command, allowing you to execute tasks that require higher permissions, such as creating a new user.
