       admin users (S)

              This is a list of users who will be granted  admin­
              istrative  privileges on the share. This means that
              they will do all file operations as the  super-user
              (root).

              You  should  use this option very carefully, as any
              user in this list will be able to do anything  they
              like  on  the  share,  irrespective of file permis­
              sions.

              Default:
                   no admin users

smb.conf 2.2.0-alpha0      09 Oct 2000                         26

SMB.CONF(5)                                           SMB.CONF(5)

              Example:
                   admin users = jason
