Modifying Login Users
Caution: When working with login users, changes are being made to the
OS user system accounts immediately. These changes cannot
be reversed.
The Security Editor does not directly modify the list of Login Users. Thus,
selecting a user in the list has no effect on the program operation for New User
or Delete User. However, it does have an effect when changing another user’s
password.
When New User, Change Password, or Delete User is selected, a command
called “sudo” runs. This command temporarily modifies user permissions to
execute privileged commands. When sudo runs, it verifies that the current user
(the user account logged in) is configured as a sudo user privileged for the exact
command sudo will execute. Sudo then asks for the current user’s password.
Note: sudo “remembers” for several minutes that a password was
successfully entered. Therefore, running additional commands
from the Login Users window may not always result in a request
for a password.
