Fedora 15 introduces the concept of an administrator group. Users who are in this group are able to:

* sudo, using their password
The `udisks2` package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems.  Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.
* authorize for various administrative tasks using PolicyKit with their own password
* authorize for various administrative tools using consolehelper/userhelper with their own password


Details [http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-March/149613.html here]
Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by `storaged`, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. `storaged` is a drop-in replacement for `udisks2`, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like `Cockpit` in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.


This is implemented via the 'wheel' group. Users can be added to the administrative group in the GNOME User Accounts panel, in the Users and Groups configuration utility (system-config-users) or in firstboot.  For adding a new user as an administrator in GNOME, click on the user menu on the top right, click on "My Account",  unlock by providing the root user password and click on the "+" button to add a new user.  Select "Account Type" as "Administrator" instead of "Standard". On the KDE spin, run "Administration / Users and Groups" from the menu, enter the root password to unlock system-config-users, go to the "Groups" tab, select "wheel", click "Properties" in the toolbar, go to the "Group Users" tab of the dialog, check your user name in the resulting list and click OK.
Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .


== Bacula ==
Bacula director and storage daemons are now running as bacula user by default. Director's log file has moved to /var/log/bacula directory.
Default user can be changed in /etc/sysconfig/bacula-* files.
When upgrading please make sure that bacula has permissions to access configuration files, log files and database.

storaged replaces udisks2

The udisks2 package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.

Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by storaged, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. storaged is a drop-in replacement for udisks2, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like Cockpit in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.

Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .
