# User management

## Switch user
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If already logged in as a user you can switch users with the command `su - [username]`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Login as root
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are logged in as a standard user, if you use `su -` without specifying a username, then it will assume you wish to log in as root.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you wish to login as root in the tty at startup, then use `root` as the username.
