I'm looking at this question on Ask https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/admin-user-converted-to-standard-after-logging-out-and-back-in/861, and note three things we could improve in the docs. First, https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/reset-root-password/ is good, but since we default to not setting a root password on Fedora Workstation, maybe there should be something there referring to that and pointing to the docs on "adding a user to sudoers". Which brings me to the second, which is "adding a user to sudoers" is a good title for people who know what they're doing, but "making a user an administrator" might be more clear. Not sure the best way to make _both_ titles discoverable. And third, the root issue: the recommended command `sudo usermod -aG wheel username` is dangerous, because it'll remove other groups if -a is left out. I recommend we suggest `sudo gpasswd wheel -a username` or `sudo groupmems -g wheel -a username`. Oooh, bonus fourth: this section should also show how to do it in GNOME with the settings panel. Thoughts on any of this? I can submit PRs of course, but I wanted to see what y'all thought. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ docs mailing list -- docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to docs-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
