Group sudo is the easy way of granting full root power to users, which
is fine for a home PC with one user. /etc/sudoers can be a bit
difficult for beginners to learn.
But if you want to tailor what particular users can do as root, and do
this across a network, then you must use /etc/sudoers to get fine
control.
In fact you are advised to create your own files in /etc/sudoers.d as
that way the base /etc/sudoers can be upgraded without messing up your
additions.
