#74 SSS user/group tools should insist that they are run as root
Closed: Fixed Opened by sgallagh.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

We should detect whether the tools are being run as root and exit immediately with an error.

Currently, if a non-root user attempts to run the SSS tools, they will see "Error initializing the tools", which is not user-friendly.
