This idea came to me when I was trying to formulate a question on this site found here.
Ok, bear with me, before you scream at me not to make every single user a super user, let me explain. This is in need of disambiguation.
What could be the disadvantages and detrimental effects of setting 2?
This is the setting now, setting 1, very regular, nothing special:
Name Username Enabled Activated User Groups
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
one one yes yes Administrator
two two yes yes custom1
three three yes yes custom2
derp derp yes yes Super Users
What if I changed it to this, setting 2?:
Name Username Enabled Activated User Groups
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
one one yes yes Administrator
two two yes yes custom1
three three yes yes custom2
derp derp yes yes Super Users, Administrator, custom1, custom2
To be very clear, this, setting 3, would be suicide and I don't mean to do this. I am aware that's not any better than doing something like sudo rm / -rf
on a linux machine (for the record, don't do this!).
Name Username Enabled Activated User Groups
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
one one yes yes Administrator, Super Users
two two yes yes custom1, Super Users
three three yes yes custom2, Super Users
derp derp yes yes Super Users
Setting 2 would be a solution to my predicament in my recent other question (same link as above).
