gid != uid
You need uid equivalent to root to perform certain actions. Rather than
setting account "edit" to UID 0, why not just install sudo? If you run
visudo and set:
tass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
then user "tass" can run any command as root without a password, e.g.
"sudo mount /mnt/cdrom" will work, and you won't have to switch accounts.
