So please post the command you run and the error message you get, if any.
I'm expecting:

sudo su - AB

Also, what says

sudo -ll

?

rishiraaz,

sudo file entry looks fine...but can you post us the output of sudo -ll after logging via sudo su - AB from user x/y

Which will help us in identifying the exact issue.
