    Or you could use SUDO to do this. I use it here and it is a easier to track who is doing what on the system. Just edit the sudoers and give the users who should be allowed to use root privs the access.

    3 user accounts with root access its a rely big vulnerability in my opinion

    the sudo option is much better
