Sup?
I need help
I would like to know how I can access the files that only an admin can access while I did not logout, like browse files not through terminal.
I would like to edit admins files while logged as lukasz, it would log me in as admin, so I don't have to log out of lukasz account

gnomesu program or kdesu program depending on whatever you have installed. Alternately, use sudo program.

Lukasz Tarkowski,

Investigate the use of the sudo command.
sudo allows you to execute a command as the root user.

Its quite general purpose, in that it has per user settings that can allow different users access to different commands as root.
Code:
emerge sudo
to get it.

There is also,
Code:
su
if you are in the wheel group.
