SUPER USER ACCESS
Controlling What Users Can See
The setup for controlling what users can see is done as follows:
- Create a set of Access Levels according to the Categories and/or the combination of categories you wish only logged in users to see. N.B do not assign any user groups to the new Access Levels at this point.
- Create a User Group, with ‘Registered’ as parent, for each Access Level. Using the same names for the User Groups as the Access Levels will prevent confusion later.
- Edit your new Access Levels and assign the correct (new)User Group to each one. You may also wish to assign the Super User Group(and/or the other default User Groups but not ‘Guest’ User Group) to all your new Access Levels

The second way to get super user privileges is to use sudo. This is a method by which a regular user can gain a temporary privilege boost. It takes a little setting up, but once done it is probably safer than the su command method.

Of course substitute your user name for YourUserName, then press escape, and type ZZ (capital Z twice). This will save the file, and that’s it. If you’ve done it right, you can now use sudo. To test this, log out as the root user (type exit, hit return), then try the following.
