addprivuser(1M)

NAME
     addprivuser - give a user all system administration privileges

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/addprivuser [ -auth auth-scheme ] username

DESCRIPTION
     addprivuser adds an entry to the privilegedUsers(4) database.  This gives
     username the ability to run all of the privileged commands in
     /var/sysadm/privbin as if he or she were root.

     For security reasons, privileges cannot be added for NIS accounts.  If
     added to the database by hand, they will be ignored.

     In order to run addprivuser, you must either be running as root or you
     must provide the -auth auth-scheme arguments and pass the authentication
     test.  If auth-scheme is unix, then must you type the root password when
     prompted in order to pass.

     The ability to run addprivuser is not itself a privilege.  root cannot
     give other users the ability to add or remove privileges.
