2 administrator users

Hello,


I have 2 adminstrator users on my Macbook and would like to know if one of them can access the other user without knowing the password.


Thanks

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.5

Yes. All admin users are members of the sudoer's list. This allows the use of Terminal and the sudo command to elevate the user to root access (sudo -s). With elevated access via Terminal, the user can access another user's home folder through command line. Data can be copied and read.
