3. What is the nature and description of the request?

Customer want to enhance sudoers to allow setup rights to group based on "AND" boolean expression.

e.g.
They want to be able to configure a sudoers file so that a particular set of rights is granted to someone If And Only If they are a member of both of two groups, where membership of just one but not the other is not sufficient.

For example, suppose that there are 2 groups ("developers", "team_leaders")

Although rights can be setup based on an OR basis ("developers" OR "team_leaders"),
but cannot be setup rights based on an AND basis ("developers" AND "team_leaders")

In support ticket, we already explained to customer that they can simple create another group that belonging to both groups (e.g. "devel_leaders"), but customer did not accept this.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Answered by customer as below:

"Already explained, at least in principle - I'm sure that you will understand that I cannot go into details about how we actually implement user and groups accesses in our internal systems, and in any case I do not think that doing so would add value.
Anyway, this is an obvious thing for the sudoers to have. I was amazed to find that such an established piece of software didn't already have it."
