There is not really a Unix root user, though there are privileges.
(There are file servers, compute servers, and workstations,
not necessarily tied to machines.)
User rights are elaborate, distributed, sometimes surprinsingly absent,
if you want this, the file system (which is central to everything)
has namespaces such that you can import "parts" of some "file area"
into some other "file area"...

Please don't rely on this description, I wish I had more time
to learn more about this system. It feels really different.
Productive. Simple. Good.
