Please don't turn this into a guessing game. Give some details about
that user account based on what you find in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow
and /etc/group. What's the username, user id, group id?
So that's how I can find out. Thank-you, Michael.
here are the relevant lines from /etc/passwd:
root:x:0:0:Super User:/root:/bin/bash
home_user:x:1000:1000:Home User:/home/home_user:/bin/bash
here are the relevant lines from /etc/shadow:

here are the relevant lines from /etc/group:
root:x:0:
wheel:x:10:home_user
home_user:x:1000:
When logged in as root, and the screen saver later activates, I notice
that when I want to resume that I'm asked to enter the password for
"Super User". I gather from that and from /etc/passwd that "Super User"
is a display name for "root". It also seems that the user that I
created during the post-install boot is an admin.
Fedora Workstation installation process offers creating a user account,
but you need to fill in a real name yourself.
"offers"? I did not get any sense of having a choice; it seemed to be
required.
In F-40 and before, root did not show up in the graphical login screen.
But I could easily log in as root by clicking "Not listed?" under the
last display name. How do I get "Super User" removed from the graphical
login screen so that I ***must*** click "Not listed?" to log in as
"Super User" (root)?
