More specifically, we are talking a scenarios where your initial access user shares their home folder with a privileged account. This is a setup that is commonly found in Active Directory contexts, when a single person is operating with 2 distinct users, 1 for their everyday work and another one for dedicated administrative actions such as managing other users &amp; groups that required elevated privileges.
