Avoid to allow to user1 to do administrative stuff with its password and what is the concept of the new user-administrator policy and root password?

[pier_andreit]

on my laptop 1=ASUS vivobook pro N552VW-FY204T (2016) with freshly installed leap 16.0 with KDE
I see that now the user is also administrator, and there is also a root password
now in the firsts I was confused becouse I inserted the root password instead of user password
then I read better and the windows asked the [user1] password
I tried systemsettings>users but wasn’t possible to change the administrator flag in user1 (maybe I have to add another user to do this?)
now, to avoid to allow to user1 to do administrative stuff with its password (that in my opinion is better) what have I to do?
and what I have to do to do administrative stuff, as in the past, only with root password?
then, what was the ratio af this behaviour??
what root password is for if there is user1-administrator?
where does root password is used?
when I launch dolphin as superuser (one of the most useful things in KDE) it seems I launch it as root, why don’t in user1-administrator?

@pier_andreit because folks wanted it that (Ub*) way… add the first user to the wheel group for sudo…

[pier_andreit]

I suppose (Ub* is an uncomfortable word )
I cannot find in systems settings>users anything about to add a user to groups and nothing about groups, also in cockpit>accounts I tried to edit user but get a white screen
for now I added another user with the same password of root and succeed to make user1 as standard

Not really, it’s just all the derivatives that use sudo… I do use it for packaging with a sudoers file for /usr/bin/build but that’s about it…
