CentOS - Apr 2021 - CentOS 8

Hello,

How do I allow root log in on GDM.
The only people that have access are admins - so I am not worried about
someone screwing things up.

Thanks,

tl;dr: you don't.

Log in as a non-root user, and when you do need root, either open up a terminal
and use 'su -' or (even better) setup your user by making your user a
member of
the wheel group and then use sudo.

Logging in to a GUI as root is *BAD* practice.

Cheers,

Niki
