Short answer: you don't.

Historically adm is the owner of the file system, whereas eve is the host
owner (i.e. the initial user at boot). "bootes" is the traditional host
owner and is normally added to the adm group (check /adm/users for detail).
The easiest way to interact with the system as eve is to use the console.
If you're running a default system, this should be all that is needed.

Cheers,

Steve
