== Administrator users ==
 
Fedora 15 introduces the concept of an administrator group. Users who are in this group are able to:
 
* sudo, using their password
* 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]
 
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.
 
== 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.
