+Feature: Root access control enforcement
+ As a Tails user
+ when I set an administration password in Tails Greeter
+ I can use the password for attaining administrative privileges.
+ But when I do not set an administration password
+ I should not be able to attain administration privileges at all.
+
+ Background:
+ Given a computer
+ And the network is unplugged
+ And I start the computer
+ And the computer boots Tails
+ And I save the state so the background can be restored next scenario
+
+ Scenario: If an administrative password is set in Tails Greeter the live user should be able to run arbitrary commands with administrative privileges.
+ Given I enable more Tails Greeter options
+ And I set sudo password "asdf"
+ And I log in to a new session
+ And Tails Greeter has dealt with the sudo password
+ Then I should be able to run administration commands as the live user
+
+ Scenario: If no administrative password is set in Tails Greeter the live user should not be able to run arbitrary commands administrative privileges.
+ Given I log in to a new session
+ And Tails Greeter has dealt with the sudo password
+ Then I should not be able to run administration commands as the live user with the "" password
+ And I should not be able to run administration commands as the live user with the "amnesia" password
+ And I should not be able to run administration commands as the live user with the "live" password
+
+ Scenario: If an administrative password is set in Tails Greeter the live user should be able to get administrative privileges through PolicyKit
+ Given I enable more Tails Greeter options
+ And I set sudo password "asdf"
+ And I log in to a new session
+ And Tails Greeter has dealt with the sudo password
+ And GNOME has started
+ And running a command as root with pkexec requires PolicyKit administrator privileges
+ Then I should be able to run a command as root with pkexec
+
+ Scenario: If no administrative password is set in Tails Greeter the live user should not be able to get administrative privileges through PolicyKit with the standard passwords.
+ Given I log in to a new session
+ And Tails Greeter has dealt with the sudo password
+ And GNOME has started
+ And running a command as root with pkexec requires PolicyKit administrator privileges
+ Then I should not be able to run a command as root with pkexec and the standard passwords
