You should be able to change this merely by typing the command: visudo
This command accesses the /etc/sudoers file (might be located differently depending on distro).
The easiest way to do this would be to uncomment the "%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL" line and then add your user to the wheel group by typing the command: gpasswd -a [user] wheel

What is sudo?
sudo is a Linux command used to execute programs as the root, or "super user." sudo is a shortening of "super user do."

DESCRIPTION sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified in the sudoers file. The real and effective uid and gid are set to match those of the target user as specified in the passwd file and the group vector is initialized based on the group file (unless the -P option was specified). If the invoking user is root or if the target user is the same as the invoking user, no password is required. Otherwise, sudo requires that users authenticate themselves with a password by default (NOTE: in the default configuration this is the user's password, not the root password). Once a user has been authenticated, a time stamp is updated and the user may then use sudo without a password for a short period of time (15 minutes unless overridden in sudoers).
