+Easiest Way to Open Files as Root in GNOME Files
+======
+Here’s the simplest way to access a file or directory as root in GNOME Files.
+
+![][1]
+
+In Windows, you generally get an option to open a file or folder as “Open As Administrator” in the right-click context menu.
+
+That feature is part of the File manager, i.e. for Windows; it’s part of Windows Explorer. However, it is executed by the operating system and its permission control modules.
+
+In Linux distributions and file managers, the situation is a little different. The different desktop has their way of handling this.
+
+Since modifying the files and folders as admin (or root) is risky and may cause a broken system, the feature is not easily available to users via the GUI of file managers.
+
+For example, KDE Plasma’s default file manager Dolphin recently [added this feature][2] so that when a root privilege is required, it will ask for you with a PolicyKit KDE Agent (polkit) window – as shown below. Not the other way around. You want to open/execute something via root from the file manager.
+
+It’s worth mentioning that you can not use “sudo dolphin” to run the file manager itself with root privilege.

+
+In a way, it saves many unforeseen situations. But advanced users can always use sudo via the terminal to do their job.
+
+### GNOME Files (Nautilus) and root access to files, directories 
+
+That being said, [GNOME Files][4] (aka Nautilus) has a way to open files and folders via root.
+
+Here’s how.
+
+* Open GNOME Files or Nautilus.
+* Then click on other locations at the left pane.
+* Press CTRL+L to bring up the address bar.
+* In the address bar, type in below and hit enter.
+
+```
+admin:///
+```
+
+* It would ask for the admin password; once you authenticate yourself successfully, you get the system open for you as admin.
+* Now, here onwards, whatever you do, it’s as admin or root.

+![Give admin password][6]
+
+![Opening GNOME Files as root][7]
+
+But, as always, be careful what you do as an admin. It’s often easy to forget after you authenticate yourself as root.
+
+There’s always a reason why these options are not easily visible to prevent you and many new Linux users from breaking their system.
+
+Cheers.
