Full root access

Post by fallenazazel »

Whilst I appreciate the first username created on TOS5+ is the superuser, we still do not have full root access to the system. One thing I have found is that the current settings for vm.swappiness are too high for daily use (for me anyway) and the SWAP is mostly 100% when there is still physical RAM to be used, its over keen. Access to such commands are restricted and we do need full access to a root user account. Whilst I understand you want to keep this restricted for most users, for those of us who tinker can we please have a full access account. Thanks

(I know its been asked before under different threads, I thought it was too important to get lost under those, with the beta being developed)

The super administrator user you created is equivalent to the root user and has the highest permissions. Could you please provide us with a screenshot of the command errors you encountered? We may be able to offer some suggestions.

Please note that when executing commands in the terminal, you do not need to prefix them with `sudo`; some users tend to overlook this.

I've been researching the full root access problem on TerraMaster, and I completely see where you're coming from! When I initially attempted to unlock my NAS.
