Solution 1

The correct entry to add to the sudoers file would be:

%developers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This entry means that all users in the 'developers' group can run any command as any user without being prompted for a password.

Here's a breakdown of the entry:

  • %developers: This specifies the group. The '%' symbol is used before the group name.
  • ALL: This specifies the hosts where this rule applies. In this case, it's all hosts.
  • (ALL): This specifies the users that the 'developers' group members can run commands as. In this case, it's all users.
  • NOPASSWD: This tells sudo not to prompt for a password.
  • ALL: This specifies the commands that the 'developers' group members can run. In this case, it's all commands.
