How do you obtain root permissions in Linux?
You can obtain root permissions in Linux by using the "sudo" command before executing a command that requires elevated privileges. This allows you to temporarily act as the root user to perform administrative tasks. Alternatively, you can switch to the root user using the "su" command by entering the root user's password.
What are the differences between Windows and Linux users and groups?
Windows and Linux handle users and groups differently in their operating systems. Windows uses a centralized model with a graphical user interface for user and group management, where users can belong to multiple groups and permissions are often assigned through Active Directory in enterprise environments. In contrast, Linux employs a more decentralized approach, utilizing command-line tools for user and group management, where each user is assigned a unique user ID (UID) and can belong to multiple groups, with permissions managed through a file system and user/group ownership. Additionally, Linux typically emphasizes the principle of least privilege, encouraging users to operate with limited permissions unless elevated access is explicitly required.
What is UPG scheme in Linux?
The UPG (User Private Group) scheme in Linux is a method for managing user and group permissions where each user is assigned a unique private group with the same name as their username. This allows users to have their own group for file ownership, ensuring better security and collaboration since files created by a user belong to their private group by default. It simplifies permission management and enhances user isolation on multi-user systems. This scheme is commonly used in modern Linux distributions to facilitate user management.

Extra info : root root ----Means that it is owned by root user(first root) and it belongs to group root (second root). Hope it helped.
Why is it important that only an administrator is allowed to create user accounts in Linux?
For security purposes, accounts are given permission to do various tasks. If an account was not created by an administrator, it would have to either a.) have no permissions, and thus not be able to do anything, or b.) have a large number of permissions, possibly to do something an administrator wouldn't want them to do.
