== Summary ==
The Anaconda installer GUI will have the administrative rights
checkbox on the User screen ticked by default.

== Detailed Description ==
Currently, the Anaconda installer GUI presents an unticked checkbox
"Make this user administrator" on the user setup screen by default.
This means users have to discover the control, understand its meaning,
and consciously decide to change the value from the default one.
However, computer usage by individuals is heavily skewed towards
single user machines where the (sole) user has administrative powers
over the machine by invoking `sudo`. This has been always reflected by
the design of the screen, which allows only a single user to be
created. The GNOME first time setup also creates a single user - and
makes them an administrator without asking.
The proposed change merely changes the default GUI state to be in line
with this expectation.
Further, this change of defaults complements the default for root
account. The redesign of root setup screen in Fedora 35 makes it clear
that root should be left locked. This change makes it clear that the
user should be the administrator. Together, these defaults will let
the user satisfy all user account options by filling in nothing more
than the user name and the password (twice to confirm).

== How To Test ==
Start Anaconda installer for the Server variant, open the user setup
screen, "Make this user administrator" is checked = pass.
Should be variant / spin / hardware agnostic, with the caveat that the
presence of user screen is configurable, so in many cases the screen
is not reachable.
Kickstart installs are not affected.

"Detailed Description" section mentions GNOME, "How To Test" describes
the server variant. Which specific variants does this all apply to?
If I recall correctly, the KDE spin already differs from Workstation in
this regard.
