Hi, I have discovered an unknown user (wheel with Read only privileges) in the Sharing & Permissions info window of iMac, 24-inch, M1, 2021 running Ventura 13.2.1. Logged in as System, when I attempt to remove this account, a pop up says "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission." What's going on?
iMac 24″, macOS 13.2
Is it a user or a group? Wheel is an admin group. I’m not aware of there being a user, but I’m not at a Mac to check.
There are many areas of macOS that you cannot modify.

Barney, you are correct.
Using Terminal one can enter: 'id -Gn root' and see that user root belongs to group wheel, among other groups.
But if you use 'id -Gn wheel', it returns no such user.
Thanks, that explains a lot, no panic now!
