Won't this alternative admin account also have access to the entire filesystem during installs?

- DavideNL 4y agoThe point is; First of all, the standard (non-admin) user can't directly write to/change brew files. So neither can all the apps you run. You'd first have to change to the admin user with `su - myadminuser`. An admin user does not equal the 'root' user, which has even more permissions. You still have to first `sudo -i` as the admin user, to become root (which is not needed for brew.)
