Re: [orca-list] Fedora-MATE-Compiz: Some programs that require super-user rights are not accessible

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

As is so often the case on Linux, there are many paths to a particular
result.

In the current discussion you also have the option to edit the relevant
/etc file using your favorite text editor, whichever that may happen to
be, e.g.

vim /etc/group

And you can add users to any group.

As a general rule, expect there will be at least one graphical tool for
some specific task, one or more text console tools, and config file
editing as options--those three.
