This is dependent on what kind of "permissions" you mean.
Changing ownership of a file is through chown.
Changing how people can access a file is through chmod.
Changing what groups the user is in is usually through gpasswd.
If you mean "make a user an administrator" then they'll either need to be included in the sudoers file (USE VISUDO.) or, if sudo is not installed, the user will need to know root's password, which is DANGEROUS, to use su or login as root.
