A couple of months ago I installed Tumbleweed on a laptop. I created an user and entered a password for the root user. So Whenever I have to install software or do ‘system-things’ I have to enter the root password. I think that’s ok. Now I installed Leap 16 on an other laptop, created a user at install and entered a password for root. Now, if I install software or do ‘system-things’ I have to enter the user-password which in system settings → users seems to be administrator. Is this the correct situation? ShouId/Could I change this to the TW-situation? I read an old topic which says put the user in the wheel-group. But how do I take care the normal user isn’t administrator anymore?
That is normal for Leap 16.
If you want to change to the (still) TW way you have to uninstall a package:
zypper rm sudo-policy-wheel-auth-self
