Does admin=true and root has the same privileges on AIX?
- by Boaz Tirosh
Does a user in /etc/security/user with the parameter admin set to true (admin = true) has 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?
