Question about an entry in /etc/sudoers

I have the following entry in my /etc/sudoers:

user ALL=(ALL) ALL

Now I am not sure what that actually does. Could you explain it to me?

I'm guessing "user" is your username.  That allows you to use sudo with any command.  It is possible to set finer restrictions for some users.
