Hello, @SumitaBehera
You can use sudo in the beginning of the command. e.g.

$ sudo systemctl status docker

OR
switch into the root user

$ sudo -i

and your command is wrong, you’re just creating a normal user. Task is about non interactive shell user. Please search more about non interactive shell.

@SumitaBehera, as per question you need to add user in non-interactive shell in App Server 3 instead of Jump Server.
