Setting Up Administrator Permissions
You can give specific users permission to administer servers using the sudo tool. Sudo is
short for “Superuser do,” a UNIX tool you can use to set up a list of users and the system
commands that each is allowed to perform. If you use this tool, you don’t have to reveal the
root administrator password to all network administrators.
Read the sudo man pages to learn how to create a sudo configuration file.

Help
Don’t overlook another built-in resource in Mac OS X Server—the onscreen help. Choose
Help from any Server Admin module, type your question, and get a list of search results that

Mac OS X Server come with built-in onscreen help.
