# User management

## Switch user
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If already logged in as a user you can switch users with the command
|
||
|
|
`su - [username]`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Login as root
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are logged in as a standard user, if you use `su -` without specifying a
|
||
|
|
username, then it will assume you wish to log in as root.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to login as root in the tty at startup, then use `root` as the
|
||
|
|
username.
