Type Definition Sources
Configurable Item UNIX and UNIX-like operating environments: The wheel group is a group which limits the number of people who are able to su to root. This usually consists of a group named 'wheel' and a set of users that are permitted to use the utility ‘su’ in order to change to root. Many systems, especially either commercial systems or Linux systems, come without wheel groups configured and implemented. At least one Linux distribution, comes with wheel groups preconfigured but not active. However, all or nearly all BSD based systems will come with the wheel group installed and set up.
