I can do anything like root does including writing to /etc/iscsi and / var/lib/iscsi. For files in /sys/block/sdX/device/queue_depth it was not successful (E667: Fsync failed), but this also happens when I try the same as real user root and seems not to be a permissen issue.
As far as I know, all users that have uid=0, are root users, however this might not be forseen in Linux, since the actual logged in user (`whoami`) is not stable across different logins. E.g. I log in on one console as "root" and whoami returns "root". Do I log in on another console with "lroot", _both_ outputs of whoami return "lroot". What I also saw is, that sometime I login as "lroot" (after reboot) and whoami returns "root" and vice versa. The latter effect seems to be associated with the order of entries in /etc/passwd, however it does not solve the multiple login issue. I guess it would be enough just to check if the user that calls iscsiadm has uid=0 and not the name "root", because if uid=0 the user is definitively a root user with sufficient privileges.
