add administrator user to system

Hello

I have a new job and I need change the last user administrator, I dont know if is easier change some things about this user or add my user in the group with every permission, how can I do it. I dont know which is the group. I think is no only useradd en after modify /etc/passwd.

It is unclear what you are asking for.

Is this about root and root aliases, "Primary Administrator" profile, "root" role or a group that would grant some privileges on your system ?

Also, what Solaris release are you using ?

Sure tanks

I need to create a new root user with all permissions as an administrator but the root user already exists with this identification card but I want to change the number of that card for my number and change the password. Or the other would create a new user.

Which is better, thanks

What identification card are you referring to ?

What Solaris release are you using (cat /etc/release) ?

There are several ways to do it. Which one to use depends on the reason why you need a different account than root and what privileges you want to grant to it.

Either you carry on and do with the root a/c or create roles. Assign the roles to a new user a/c and use it.
