Re: [p4] p4v browse showing root user

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

1) The user "root" showing up in "p4 users" isn't
related to how you started p4d, because p4d doesn't create a
user.  Complete red herring.  That user was most likely
created at some point in the past by a client connection that someone ran from
their own "root" account.

2) A user called "root" has no special powers or permissions in
Perforce unless you grant them those permissions via "p4
protect".  Since you've set autocreate to 2, users will not
be able to do this in the future; only a superuser (which presumably you have
locked down via protections and passwords) is allowed to create new users now.

If you have not set up a protection table yet by running "p4 protect",
of course, the door is wide open for anyone to do anything.
