I know my root account and use it sometimes, but I have a regular account that I normally use that I want to give root permission. I dont want it to be just an "administrator" account.

this won't help, but ur playing with fire. Even linux people say not to use root, a mac might be very at risk if there was a root user commonly using it.

No, don't use root as your everyday user, it's really easy to mess your system up if you have root permissions all the time. If you need to use root just open up the terminal or log out and back in.

um, i would suggest against being a root user all the time.

I know! I know! I dont care. I just want to know how to make a normal account like the root account if it is possible. I dont care about the risks.

i think administrator is as close as you are going to get. i am not aware of actually creating a user as powerful as root.
