Hello!
 
Is there any definition for the word "privileged user" in the Linux
(especially RedHat) environment?
 
I am currently learning RedHat OpenShift and the courses include a
question where the answer is that 2 containers run with UID 27 are
called privileged.  (DO190 ch03s08 if you have access).
 
I am aware that it is common that normal (real people) users start
with 1000 ongoing, server process users are below.  Is there a
difference on the IDs or is that just tradition?
 

 
Would users in the "wheel" group be priveleged? They can do anything
with sudo.

For some definitions of "privledged" that would be a yes.

But as some other poster pointed out, Marco seems to be dealing with
OpenShift internals, so he likely needs to find OpenShift's definition
(wherever that might be).
