Does this user have admin privileges? root != admin on macOS if I recall correctly.

  root IS an admin in macOS. You just cannot use root the same way you expect root to work in other Unix OS' without changing stuff in the BIOS (or whatever it's called for Apple) but you can still do most admin things with root. However root does get admin privileges, but when it comes to some system directories he is banned till you "fix" root privileges.

    Thank you, I was wrong.

      It's fine, by my own definition, that isn't a true root user... It ruins everything I've come to expect from using root.
