Looking at user privileges from a unix perspective, there are only two kinds of users:
1. root
2. everyone else
You could give other users more privileges by adding them to different groups - but essentially there are just the two categories.

privgrp(5) File Formats Manual privgrp(5)
NAME
privgrp - HP-UX group privileges
DESCRIPTION
HP-UX allows subletting of limited superuser-like privileges to all users or to members of a particular group or groups. This capability
is deprecated and only existing applications should use it. The newer fine-grained privilege facilities described in privileges(5) should
be used by new applications.
The header defines the following symbolic privilege names: and
All but one of the group privileges are supported as fine-grained privileges and described in privileges(5). The one group privilege not
supported as a fine-grained privilege is:
Permits the use of the
and system calls for changing respectively the real user ID and real group ID of a process (see setuid(2)). This
behavior of is deprecated and only legacy applications should use it. Newer applications should use and respec-
tively, to achieve the same effect. (No special privileges required.)
The header defines two additional symbolic constants:
defines the maximum number of groups with special privileges.
Of this maximum, one is reserved for global privileges (granted to all processes) and the remainder can be assigned
to actual group IDs.
defines the size of the multi-word mask used
in defining privileges associated with a group ID.
The and commands and the and system calls may be used to define and query the privilege group associations.
The group privileges are automatically initialized from the contents of (see privgrp(4)) at boot time.
WARNINGS
This mechanism is deprecated and only legacy applications should use it. See privileges(5) for a description of fine-grained privileges.
