Fix paste-o that duplicated documentation header. 2020-06-30 12:11:56 -06:00			`.. _cmd-fish_is_root_user:`
Add a function to check if the user is root. Add a helper function to check if the user is root. This function can be useful for the prompts for example. Modify the prompts made root checked to use the function instead. Add also the support of Administrator like a root user. Fixes: #7031 2020-06-17 17:55:23 +02:00
