Hi List!

How do I make a user that has the same permissions as root?
Is that possible?
If not, then what can I do to make a user with as many rights as possible,
like root?

What I need to do is to run IBM TAPM, and I hear people say that I need to
run it as 'administrator' on windows. And that works fine.
Now I just need to do the same on AIX.

Yours sincerely
