Does a user in /etc/security/user
with the parameter admin
set to true (admin = true
) have the same privileges as the root user?
According to IBM (full information here):
admin Defines the administrative status of the user. Possible values are: true The user is an administrator. Only the root user can change the attributes of users defined as administrators. false The user is not an administrator. This is the default value.
Is there another type of user, or are admin and root the same?
