The 'su' utility has nothing to do with the 'sudo' utility and they are
controled separately.
The 'su do ('sudo')' utility is controled by the file '/etc/sudoers' or
by any file placed in the directory '/etc/sudoers.d'.
So to grand full access to a specific user in the sudoers file you would
have something like:
'<USER> ALL=(ALL) ALL'
Where <USER> is to be substituted by the desired user.
The 'substitute user ('su')' utility is used in conbination with 'pam'
and is controled by the file '/etc/pam.d/su'.
Unless you know what you are doing, it is strongly suggested to use the
'--login' option to get a logging shell like so:
'su --login'
