<title>Administrative Tasks</title>
- <para>In Xubuntu, for security reasons, administrative
tasks are confined to users with special privileges. Administrative access is
given to individual users, who may use the <application>sudo</application>
command to perform administrative tasks. The first user account you created on
your system during installation will, by default, have access to sudo. You can
restrict and enable sudo access to users with the <application>Users and
Groups</application> application (see <ulink url="users-groups;">users and

<para>When you run an application that requires
administrative privileges, sudo will ask you to input your user password. This
ensures that rogue applications cannot damage your system, and serves as a
reminder that you are about to perform administrative actions which require you
to be careful! However, each time you insert the password, the system remembers
it for 15 minutes so that you do not have to type it again.

them. A good example is the <application>Adobe Photoshop</application> file
format. Formats such as these are generally able to store additional data
compared to widely-used standard formats and so are still useful. You may find
that applications exist on Xubuntu to convert or use application specific
formats. The <application>GIMP Image Editor</application> is able to use Adobe
PSD files, for example.</para>
