Group Membership - Admin Equivalent Account¶

Determine which group(s) the default admin account is in:

root@raspberrypi-01:/home/admin# cat /etc/group | grep admin
adm:x:4:syslog,admin
dialout:x:20:admin
cdrom:x:24:admin
sudo:x:27:admin,jhochberg
audio:x:29:admin
video:x:44:admin
plugdev:x:46:admin
games:x:60:admin
users:x:100:admin,jhochberg
input:x:995:admin
render:x:992:admin
netdev:x:107:admin
gpio:x:1000:admin
spi:x:1001:admin
i2c:x:1002:admin
admin:x:1003:

Note the discrepency between the groups admin is a member of vs jhochberg.

Resolve the issue simply by adding the user's account to all equivalent groups:

root@raspberrypi-01:/home/admin# usermod -aG adm jhochberg
root@raspberrypi-01:/home/admin# usermod -aG dialout jhochberg
root@raspberrypi-01:/home/admin# usermod -aG cdrom jhochberg
