Thanks Ray,

I think this answers my question...

In other words if you are not root authorised at UNIX you cannot under
any circumstances be a super-user at Universe level, no matter how you
setup/install Universe since Universe uses UNIX to authenticate.

Is that right?

I was thinking it might have been possible to create a different
security level (not root) that Universe could sit on thinking it was
root and therefore setting the 'super-user flag' to true and allowing
Universe admin that requires super-user access.

Mike

Well, you can certainly delegate certain printer control tasks via
printer groups.

Apart from that, the only non-root users with any kind of administrative
privileges are uvadm and uvsql (if you've set these up).

Since UniVerse uses operating system authentication, you won't get very
far with these without superuser access.
