It's interesting I was solving the same question a couple of days ago.
(I was installing 9atom.)
I think R. Miller's answer is closest to what christophe.DAMAS needed.
(On 9atom one is asked during booting for a user, so there it can be
enough to really 'just log in as adm'.)

It's a pitty this is not as clear as it should be on the wiki.

Anyhow; a related question that came across my mind:

How does a user list all groups they is in?
(to list all users in a group one can
uname group
on the fossil console)

and

What is the difference between
con /srv/fscons
and
con -l /srv/fscons
?

Thanks
