Did you try the docs I referred? Or is the case that you don't have root 
access at all, in other words you are not able to edit /etc/sudoers?

File permissions work that way - you either need to be root or need to 
set access to the files (see 'man chown' and 'man chmod'). For secret 
files, such as cryptographic keys, it is not at all feasible to use 
loose permissions, which again brings us back to the need for root access.

Hope this helps,
Johan
