i have created a user and add him to the standard group

now he cannot use software center,

so i want him to stay in standard group but allow him to user software center.

What is the best way to do that.

Thanks

You will have to give him sudo permission to the user only for using the apt-get . – Pranit Bauva Aug 18 '12 at 8:37
Yes, but sudo will allow him to do anything, it is same as making him administrator, but i only want him to use software center – Iori Aug 18 '12 at 9:04
Not necessary .... there is a file (i don't remember which) which gives permission to a specific user a sudo permission for a specific thing... I will let you know once I remember it! – Pranit Bauva Aug 18 '12 at 14:11
