try on your machine

The command "sudo sa --print-users" is used to list all the users on a system that have been granted Superuser (sudo) privileges. Here is a breakdown of each part:

"sudo" stands for "superuser do". It is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to provide elevated privileges to users. By using "sudo" at the beginning of a command, the user can execute that command with administrative rights.
"sa" is an abbreviation for "system administrator". It refers to the system administrator tool that helps manage user accounts, groups, and other system-related settings.
"--print-users" is an option or flag provided to the "sa" tool. This specific flag instructs the tool to print a list of all users who have been granted sudo privileges, typically displaying their usernames.

Combining these elements, the command "sudo sa --print-users" will execute the "sa" tool with administrative privileges and display a list of users who have been granted sudo access on the system.
